Question 1058081: Traci is running a trail in Henna Park. She can run one mile in 10 minutes. Yoni is running the same trail as Traci. Yoni can run a mile in 5 minutes but starts running 20 minutes after Traci started on the trail. If they start the trail from the same point, how long will it take for Yoni to catch Traci?

10x = 5x+20
5x = 20
x = 4 Yoni will catch Traci in 4 miles
For Traci: 10*4 = 40 minutes
For Yoni: 5*4 = 20 minutes (she starts 20 min. after T, so 20+20 = 40)
