There are 2 friends chasing one another. They are 80 feet apart. Caroline is chasing after Sam. Sam runs at
a speed of 22 feet per second and Caroline runs at a
speed of 31 feet per second. How many seconds will it
take for Caroline to catch Sam?

8.9 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

When caroline catches sam after some time lets say t

distance moved by Caroline will be 80 feet more than sam as they were 80 feet apart.

Given

Let the time taken by Caroline to catch sam is t seconds

distance covered by Caroline in t seconds = speed of caroline*t

distance covered by Caroline in t seconds = 31  * t

distance covered by Caroline in t seconds = 31t feet

distance covered by sam in t seconds = speed of sam*t

distance covered by sam in t seconds = 22  * t

distance covered by sam in t seconds = 22t feet

distance moved by Caroline will be 80 feet more than sam as they were 80 feet apart and caroline catches her in t seconds

thus,

distance covered by Caroline in t seconds  = distance covered by sam in t seconds  + 80 feet

31t = 22t + 80

subtracting 22t from both sides

=> 31t - 22 t = 80

=> 9t = 80

=>t = 80/9 = 8.9 seconds

Thus,

it will take 8.9 seconds for Caroline to catch Sam

answer: the area of the parallelogram below is 42 square meters.

x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x

step-by-step explanation:

last month maria hiked the 5-mile mountain trail a number of times and she hiked the 10-mile canal trail several times. let x represent the number of times she hiked the 5-mile trail, and let y represent the number of times she hiked the 10-mile trail. if she hiked a total of 90 miles, which equation can be used to find the number of times maria hiked each trail? x + y = 90 5x – 10y = 90 90 – 10y = 5x 90 + 10y = 5x
