A child is on a train going 50mph from Madison, WI to Greenbay, WI, which is 132.56miles. The time is 2:32pm. He is eating a 4.23inch icecream which melts at 1.78inch per 5minutes and 12.5seconds, until half of the icecream is left which is then melted at half of the rate. At what time of the day will the icecream completely melt and what time will he be at Green Bay? If the train wheels were 1inch different appart from the front, what difference would this make in the time from getting to Green Bay from Madison?
