Question

1. Ima Thief robs a bank and takes off in a getaway car. Five minutes Polly Srule takes off after Ima.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 12 minutes

b. 34 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are told that Ima has driven 5 minutes before Polly started driving

So if Ima has driven for x minutes , polly would have driven for y minutes but the difference between x and y is 5

So mathematically;

x = y + 5

a. 17 = y + 5

y = 17-5 = 12 minutes

b. x = 29 + 5

x = 34 minutes
