Joe can run the 440 yard dash in 55 seconds and Jack can run it in 88 seconds. How great a handicap must Joe give Jack for the boys to finish the race at the same time?
So I figured out that Joe's rate is 8yd/sec and Jack's rate is 5yd/sec. I know their time has to be the same so both equations need to be set equal to each other.
Any hints out there?
