Answer: 20 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s

Answer:

20 secs

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is 540 feet

speed of the girl = 15ft/s

speed of the puppy = 12 ft/s

If we stand in the frame of reference where the girl is still, in this frame the speed of the puppy will be equal to the speed of the puppy in our previus frame plus the speed of the girl in the previous frame (because they are running in opposite directions)

S = 15 ft/s + 12ft/s = 27ft/s

Now we can use the equation:

time = distance/speed

T = 540ft/27ft/s = 20s
