Walking beside you, your friend takes 50 strides per minute while you take 48 strides per minute.
\n" ); document.write( " If you start in step, when will you be in step again?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let m = no. of minutes to be in step
\n" ); document.write( "50(m-1) = 48m
\n" ); document.write( "50m - 50 = 48m
\n" ); document.write( "50m - 48m = 50
\n" ); document.write( "2m = 50
\n" ); document.write( "m = 25 minutes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "therefore in 25 min you will be in step because:
\n" ); document.write( "your friend has completed 25*50 = 1250 steps
\n" ); document.write( "while you have completed 25*48 = 1200 steps \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
