Question

Peter and his neighbor, Juan walk 2 miles to school each day yesterday peter walked to school in 27 minutes Juan walked the first mile to school in 11 minutes if they leave at the same time today and maintain their rates from yesterday what can you say about their arrival times?

Answer 1

Total distance from their home to school is 2 miles.

Peter covered this distance in 27 minutes yesterday. Since the rate of walking is the same today, Peter will arrive in school in 27 minutes today.

Juan covered 1 mile in 11 minutes yesterday. This means she will cover 2 miles in 22 minutes. Since the rate(speed) of walking of Jaun is also same as that of yesterday, Juan will reach the school in 22 minutes.

Thus, we can conclude that if Peter and Juan leave at the same time, Juan will reach the school 5 minutes earlier than Peter.
