Question 1138103
.
<pre>
Let d be the distance under the question.


The "time" equation is


{{{d/5}}} - {{{d/15}}} = {{{1/6}}},


saying that the difference of times spent is {{{1/6}}} of an hour, i.e. 10 minutes.


To solve the equation, multiply both sides by 30. You will get


6d - 2d = 5,

4d = 5,

d = {{{5/4}}} miles = 1.25 miles.    <U>ANSWER</U>
