Time the Two Skaters
Two skaters, Jennie and Maude, stood a mile apart on a frozen lake, then each skated directly to the spot where the other had been standing.
With the help of a strong wind, Jennie performed the feat two and one-half times faster than Maude and beat her by six minutes.
How long did it take each girl to skate the mile?
