Question

Anne & Mary went for a walk. Anne started walking 1 minute earlier than Mary did.

Anne walks at a speed of 6 feet per second.
Mary walks at a speed of 8 feet per second.
How many seconds had Anne been walking at the point when the two girls had walked the exact same distance?

Answer 1

oh so it would be 10 @Ultrilliam

Answer 2

Just out of curiosity, are there options to the Question?

Answer 3

@Ultrilliam no

Answer 4

@Ultrilliam so that's all we have to do

Answer 5

Didn't think so, but the answer is 4 seconds, as the math demonstrates, the one minute is a red herring so to speak

Answer 6

If I read the Question correct that is

Answer 7

@Ultrilliam I thought the answer was 240

Answer 8

because following your way would give Anne walked for x + 60 = 180 + 60 = 240 sec

Answer 22

`We know that distance = rate x time

We know Anne walks at a rate of 6 ft/s and Mary walks at a rate of 8 ft/s

1 min = 60 sec, and Anne started walking 60 sec prior to Mary

If the amount of time Mary walked is x, then the amount of time that Anne walked is (x + 60)

Since we want to know when the two girls walked the same distance, we can form the following equation using the formula for distance

8x = 6(x + 60)

8x = 6x + 360

2x = 360

x = 180

So Mary walked for 180 sec and Anne walked for x + 60 = 180 + 60 = 240 sec`
