    Juan's time = x

    Yumi's time = x + 2

    Yumi's distance = 3 miles

    Juan's distance = 2 miles

    Rate = distance/time

    Juan's rate = 2/x

    Yumi's rate = 3 / (x + 2)

    The rates are equal so:

    2/x = 3 / (x + 2)

    2x + 4 = 3x

    x = 4 hours

    Yumi's time = 4 + 2 = 6 hours

    The answer is D.
