Michelle and Thea are running in the Fun Run. Michelle runs at 7 kph and Thea at 5 kph.
\n" ); document.write( " If they start at the same time, how long will it be before Michelle is one-forth kilometer ahead of Thea?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let t = time (in hours) from start when M is 1/4 min ahead of T
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a dist equation
\n" ); document.write( "7t - 5t = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "2t = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1/8 hrs, change to minutes, 1/8 * 60 = 7.5 min
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
