Hello there, this is my first reply. Thanks for helping


John can walk to school in 40 minutes while his brother, Jack, takes 20 minutes. If they both start walking to school at the same time, how long will it take for Jack to be 2/5 as far as John.

Is there something wrong with the question?
Jack is faster than John. Yet the question ask for the time needed for Jack to travel 2 units while John has travelled 5 units.

thank you atutor2001. i typed the last part wrong. i fixed it now
