Time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be found as follows:
time taken=distance/(relative speed)
relative speed=(speed of hare-speed of tortoise)
speed of hare=500/20=25 cm/sec
speed of tortoise=250/50=5 cm/sec
relative speed will be:
(25-5)=20 cm/ sec
thus the total time taken for hare to catch up with the tortoise will be:
1000/20
=50 sec

Answer: 50 sec

What should be done to both sides of the equation in order to solve y - 4.5 = 12.2?
maw [93]
Y - 4.5 = 12.2

your solving for y which means your trying to get rid of 4.5 so that y can equal something. The opposite of -4.5 would be +4.5, so you would add 4.5 to both sides to get 

y = 16.7

So your answer would be 

A. Add 4.5

and also dont' say your stupid because all you need is a little explanation and you'll get it, its very easy you just need to take the time to practice :-)
