Time & Distance Problem 1

Bill and his friend Susie decided to walk a park's track. They got in an argument and decided not to walk together but opposite directions instead. If the track is 5 miles long and Bills constant walking speed is 3.5 miles an hour, and Susie's constant walking speed is 1.5 miles an hour, how much (distance) of the track will Bill cover, and how much (distance) of the track will Susie cover when they meet each other again going opposite directions? Also, how much time has gone by when they finally meet?
