Your answer

Respuesta :

Answer:

Ray walks 15 minutes prior to his sister and walk for 5 minutes to catches up

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time taken is as follows:

Let us assume the Ray time be t

So his sister time would be t - 10

Since Ray distance is 2t

So his sister distance is 6(t - 10) = 6t - 60

As the distance is the same

So, the following equation must be made    

2t = 6t - 60

 -4t = -60

t = 15

Therefore Ray walks 15 minutes prior to his sister and walk for 5 minutes to catches up
