Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's call the time she needs to catch up "x", and so Terry's rate would be x-6 since he left home 6 hours earlier. Then we multiply the rates to get 20x - 120 = 80x. The answer is -2, but we can just say 2.

Checking our answer, that means if it took Sally 2 hours, it took Terry 8 hours for he left home 6 hours earlier. So 8 times 20 = 160km traveled. 2 times 80 = 160km traveled. Same distance.
