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.

A colony of bacteria triples in link every 10 minutes. It's length is now 1 mm. How long will be in 40 minutes
Nuetrik [128]
If the bacteria is tripling every 10 minutes, that means the "rate of increase" on that period is 200%, so if say the current amount is "c", 200% of "c" is just 2c, so c + 2c is 3c, a tripled amount.

\bf \textit{Periodic Exponential Growth}\\\\
A=I(1 + r)^{\frac{t}{p}}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\
I=\textit{initial amount}\to &1\\
r=rate\to 2\%\to \frac{200}{100}\to &2.00\\
t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &40\\
p=period\to &10
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
A=1(1 + 2)^{\frac{40}{10}}
