Mickey and Minnie both drive the same distance.
\n" ); document.write( " By driving 25 mph faster, Mickey gets there in 3 hours, while it takes Minnie 5 hours. How fast does each drive?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let s = Minnie's speed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(s+25) = Mickey's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "They are driving the same dist, write a distance equation: dist = time * speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Min's dist = Mic's dist
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 3(s+25)
\n" ); document.write( "5s = 3s + 75
\n" ); document.write( "5s - 3s = 75
\n" ); document.write( "s = \"75%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "s = 37.5 mph is Minnie's speed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "37.5 + 25 = 62.5 mph is Mickey's speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Prove this by finding the distance of each
\n" ); document.write( "3*62.5 = 187.5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "5*37.5 = 187.5 mi\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
