Yuto left his house at 10 a.m. to go for a bike ride. By the time Yuto’s sister Riko left their house, Yuto was already 5.25 miles along the path they both took. If Yuto’s average speed was 0.25 miles per minute and Riko’s average speed was 0.35 miles per minute, over what time period in minutes, t, starting from when Riko left the house, will Riko be behind her brother?

When Riko left the house, Yuto was 5.25 miles ahead of her. every minute ... closing the gap at the rate of 0.1 mile per minute. -- If she can keep it up, she'll close the gap in (5.25 / 0.1) = 52.5 minutes.
