Charity has 3 times as long a walk to school as Michele has and the difference between the distances they walk is (1)/(5) a mile. How far does each walk?

[Unknown008]

Let the distance Charity walks be c and that of Michele be m.

You are told this in the first sentence:
c = 3m

You have to multiply the distance of Michele by 3 so that both distances are equal.

The difference is 1/5 a mile.

c - m = 1/5

c is larger, so this is good.

You have two equation and two unknowns, can you solve for c and m? :)
