Question 1073991
.
Jose and Eduardo are going to run a race. Jose is willing to give Eduardo a 3 mile head start. 
Jose runs at a rate of 7.5 miles per hour. Eduardo's rate is 1.5 miles per hour SLOWER that Jose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
Your equation is this:

7.5*t = 3 + 6*t

The solution is

7.5t - 6t = 3,

1.5t = 3  --->  t = {{{3/1.5}}} = 2 hours.

<U>Answer</U>.  Jose catches up Eduardo in 2 hours.

Writing by "josgarithmetic" (including his equation) is WRONG, NONSENSICAL and does not correspond to the condition..



It would be good (much better) if you put a question in your post.
