Marisol and mimi walked the same distance from their school to a shopping mall. marisol walked 2 miles per hour, while mimi left 1 hour later and walked 3 miles per hour. if they reached the mall at the same time, how far from the mall is their school? answers

Marisol = 2 mph

Mimi = 3 mph and left 1 hour after Marisol had left

They arrived at the same time.

If Marisol took x hours to arrive, then Mimi took (x-1) hours. The distance was the same.

Distance, D = Speed*Time

Marisol: D = 2*x = 2x

Mimi: D = 3 * (x-1) = 3x-3

then,

2x = 3x - 3 = > (2-3) x = - 3 = > - x = - 3=> x = 3 hours

Therefore,

D = 2x = 2*3 = 6 miles
