Question 1135514: axel and dash are brothers they go to the same school.today they left for the school at same time and walked to school .axel walked at speed of 315 feet per minute. dash walked to school at speed of 420 feet per minute.dash arrived 2 minutes before axel.what is the distance in feet between there home and school?
Let x be the distance under the question.
Then you have this "time" equation
- = 2 minutes. <<<---=== Every fraction on the left side is the time to cover the distance . . .
To solve it, multiply both sides by 315*420. You wiil get
420x - 315x = 2*315*420
105x = 264600
x = = 2520 ft. ANSWERCHECK. = 8 minutes; = 6 minutes; 8 - 6 = 2 minutes. ! Correct !
Solved
From this solution, learn on how to write, how to use and how to solve a "time" equation.
