Yissania and Charlotte walked on treadmills at the same time at the gym. Yissania walks at 5 mph while Charlotte walks 4.2 mph. If Yissania walked .6 miles farther than charlotte, how long did they use the treadmills.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Yissania DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 5 mph : distance = x+0.6 miles ; time = d/r = (x+0.6)/5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Charlotte DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 4.2 mph ; distance = x miles ; time = d/r = x/4.2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "time = time
\n" ); document.write( "(x+0.6)/5 = x/4.2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "4.2x + 4.2*0.6 = 5x
\n" ); document.write( "0.8x = 2.52
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3.15 hrs (time each used the treadmill)
\n" ); document.write( "3.15 hrs = 3 hrs 9 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "==================================
