I\'m rather confused with a certain problem:
Ferris and Julia jog around a circular track that is 500 meters long. Julia\'s rate is 250 meters per minute, while Ferris\'s rate is only 230 meters per minute. In how many minutes will Julia be a full lap ahead?

Solution

Julia::250..*..t...= 250t
Ferris:230..*..t...= 230t

-------
Equation:
Julia distance - Ferris distance = 500 meters
250t - 230t = 500
20t = 500
t = 25 minutes (time Julia will require to have a 500 meter lead on Ferris)
