Think of this as the turtle standing still and the rabbit
\n" ); document.write( "moving at the sum of their speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+t+\"$ = time in minutes for them to be $\"+3216+\"$ ft apart
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3216+=+%28+5+%2B+62+%29%2At+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3216+=+67t+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+3216%2F67+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+t+=+48+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "They will be 3216 ft apart in 48 min\r
