\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time for this to be true
\n" ); document.write( "Write dist equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "N's dist - B's dist = 1/5 mi
\n" ); document.write( "7t - 5t = \"1%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "2t = \"1%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"1%2F5\" * \"1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"1%2F10\" of an hr
\n" ); document.write( "change to min
\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2F10\" * 60 = 6 min
