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.

The sum of four consecutive integers is 342. What is the third term in the sequence
Fofino [41]

Answer:

86

Step-by-step explanation:

let  four consecutive integers: n  , n+1  , n+2  , n+3

n  + n+1  + n+2 + n+3 = 342

4n + 6 = 342

4n + 6  - 6  = 342 - 6

4n = 336

divid by : 4

n = 84

but the third term is : n +2   so : 84+2 = 86
