Answer 1

Answer:

12.5r + 200 = 12.5*2r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rate of Hoppertunity = r

Rate of Dortmund = 2r as it is twice as fast

Solution

Let the distance Hoppertunity runs be d, then the distance Dortmund runs is d + 200 m

Since it took 12.5 seconds Dortmund to catch Hoppertunity, it can be expressed as:

• d = 12.5r for Hoppertunity
• d + 200 =12.5*2r for Dortmund

By replacing d in the second equation, we get:

• 12.5r + 200 = 12.5*2r

Soving:

• 12.5r = 200
• r = 200/12.5
• r = 16 m/sec

Hoppertunity's rate is 16 m/sec

Dortmund's rate is 32 m/sec
