Question

Can you help me with this word problem because I'm bad a solving at math word problems. 

Answer 1

    DAY    Samantha             Mariska

 

      1          5                          7

      2         10                        14

      3         15                        21

      4         20                        28

      5         25                        35 <--- she stops here

      6         30                        35

      7         35                        35     

 

So as you can see, Samantha did not catch up to

Mariska until the 7th day
