For this case we have to write the equation of the position of each one.
We have then:
For the robber:
For the marshall
:
By the time the marshall reaches the robber we have:
From here, we clear the time.
We have then:
Answer:
it takes the marshall to catch up to the robber about 2.7 hours.
You could use a method called cross products to solve this proportional equation. What you would do is multiply 3.4*7.7 =2.17*x
If multiplied correctly, your equation should be 26.18 = 2.17x
You are trying to get the variable alone on one side. To do this, you have to undo the multiplication of the coefficient. The opposite of multiplication is division, so you would divide both sides by 2.17.
If done correctly, your equation should now be x=<span>12.064516129
However, this can be rounded to x= approximately 12.066
