Anne and Mary went for a walk. Anne started walking 1 minute earlier than Mary did.
\n" ); document.write( "•Anne walks at a speed of 6 feet per second
\n" ); document.write( "•Mary walks at a speed of 8 feet per second
\n" ); document.write( "How many seconds had Anne been walking at the point when the two girls had walked the exact same distance?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let t = walking time of Anne in seconds
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(t-1) = walking time of Mary
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "Mary's dist = Anne's dist
\n" ); document.write( "8(t-1) = 6t
\n" ); document.write( "8t - 8 = 6t
\n" ); document.write( "8t - 6t = 8
\n" ); document.write( "2t = 8
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8/2
\n" ); document.write( "t = 4 seconds Anne's walking time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this by finding actual dist each walked, should be equal
\n" ); document.write( "4*6 = 24 ft
\n" ); document.write( "3*8 = 24 ft \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
