Each jogger cuts down the distance between them as they jog.
\n" ); document.write( "They are always approaching each other at their combined speeds
\n" ); document.write( "Jogger #1 has a speed of (1 trip around)/56 sec
\n" ); document.write( "At the sum of their speeds, (1 trip around)/24 sec
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"s\" = speed of Jogger #2
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F56+%2B+s+=+1%2F24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by \"168\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3+%2B+168s+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"168s+=+4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"s+=+1%2F42\"
\n" ); document.write( "The 2nd Jogger takes 42 sec to go around track\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
