Question 1164102: Jamill walks a distance that is 1/4 more than Jacob. Jacob uses 1/10 more time than Jamill. What is the ratio of the speeds of Jamill and Jacob? Answer by ikleyn(52775) (Show Source):
Let Jamill's distance be d and Jamill's time be t.
Let Jacob's distance be x and Jacob's time be y.
Then d = x + x/4 = , and y = .
It implies x = .
Then Jamill's speed is , while the Jacob' speed is = = = .
Therefore, the ratio of the Jamill' speed to that of Jacob is = . ANSWER
