\"x\"= distance walked by the son
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x\"= distance walked by the father
\n" ); document.write( "Between the two of them,
\n" ); document.write( "they covered the \"1mile\" distance twice.
\n" ); document.write( "So, \"x%2B2x=2miles\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3x=2miles\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=2%2F3\"\"miles\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=4%2F3\"\"miles\"
\n" ); document.write( "The father walked \"highlight%284%2F3%29\" of a mile
\n" ); document.write( "( \"1\" mile forward and \"1%2F3\" mile back towards his son).
\n" ); document.write( "The son walked \"2%2F3\" of a mile in one direction.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
