Answer:

10 Seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of Elene = 3m/s

Speed of Abbi = 2m/s

Let the  time be t  seconds taken by Elene to  catch abbi.

Distance for any speed S and time is calculated by formula given below

Distance = speed * time

  • distance covered by Elene in time t =  3m/s * t = 3t m  -->equation A
  • distance covered by Abbi in time t =  2m/s* t = 2t m  --> equation B

Since it is given that Elene has given abbi 10 m head start it means that

Elene has to run extra 10 meters than Abbi to catch abbi.

Thus we can say that

distance run by Elene = 10 m + distance run by Abbi

Substituting that value distance run by Elene from equation A

and distance run by Abbi from equation B

we have

3t = 2t +10

=>3t - 2t = 10

=> t = 10

Therefore it will take 10 second for elene to catch abbi.
