Tom and John are speed skaters. Tom skates at a rate of 44 ft/sec and John skates at a rate of 50 ft/sec. If John is 120 ft behind of Tom when they start speed skating, how long will it take John to catch up to Tom?

Respuesta :

t = 44
j = 50

t - j = 6ft/sec

120ft ÷ 6ft/sec = 20s

(44 * 20) + 120 = 880 + 120 = 1,000 ...

50 * 20 = 1,000 ...

Ans = 20 secs...//

Answer:

20 sec
