Question

Jennifer and Taylor are running together. Taylor thinks Jennifer runs a little slow, so she gives Jennifer a 1 km advantage. This means Taylor is at the starting point and Jennifer is 1 km in front. Taylor runs 0.25 km per minute and Jennifer runs 0.15 km. How long will it take before Taylor catches up to Jennifer

Answer 1

It would take ten minutes before Taylor catches up to Jennifer. this is because although she may have a 1km advantage Taylor is still faster by .10km (.25x10= 2.00) (1.15x10=2.00)
