Noah and Ben are running in the Walker Street Fun Run. Noah runs at 7 mph, Ben at 5 mph. If they start at the same time, how long will it be before they are 1/3 mile apart?
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Noah DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 7 mph ; time = x hrs. ; distance = 7x miles
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Ben DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 5 mph ; time = x hrs. ; distance = 5x miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "Noah distance - Ben distance = (1/3) mile
\n" ); document.write( "7x - 5x = (1/3)
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 1/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1/6 hr = 10 minutes\r
