Let X = the amount of lawn raked. You want it to equal 1.
Ingrid rakes at a rate of R1 = 1/90 lawn per mminute
The other person rakes at a rate of 1/60 lawn per minute
Let T be the time measured after the second person starts.
(1/90)(T + 15) + (1/60)T = X = 1
(5/180)T + 1/6 = 1
(5/180)T = 5/6 = 150/180
T = 50 minutes
