Middle School Math
Jim and Mike live 20 meters away from each other. They want to meet up somewhere between their houses. They leave at the same time and Jim walks at 2 m/s and Mike walks at 2.5 m/s. How far from Mike's house will they meet and how long did each of them walk?
I know one way to find this answer, but I cant think of a more simple way to explain it to a remedial math student. Can you help?
