Arlo walked n feet per minute and arrived at the clinic 10 minutes late.
How fast should he have walked to have arrived on time?
:
Let t = walking time
then
(t-10) = faster walking time
;
let f = faster walking speed to arrive on time
:
Write a dist equation; dist = speed * time
:
Fast dist = slow dist
f(t-10) = n*t
f = %28nt%29%2F%28t-10%29
