Time it took Hector to complete 18 miles is given by 18 / 12 = 1.5 hours.

Let the time when Wanda will catch up to Hector be t, then, the distance covered by Hector at the time they meet is 18 + 12t and the distance covered by Wanda at the time they meet is 16t.

Then, 18 + 12t = 16t
16t - 12t = 18
4t = 18
t = 18 / 4 = 4.5

Therefore, Wanda will catch up with Hector after 4.5 hours.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

21.4÷4.75

  • First- you have to move the decimal placement two times to the right
  • Second- you have to put the number 21.4 under the dividing box
  • Third- put the number 4.75 out to the left of the decimal box
  • Fourth- when that's all completed you have to multiply the 475. until you get clos to the number 2140.
  • Fifth- once done you have to subtract the multiplied number that you get you then subtract it from 2140
  • Sixth- you keep on doing the fifth step until you get a reasonable answer
  • Seventh- you write the answer down
  • Eighth- there is no eighth step so you can stop reading this answer
