Answer: 36 sec
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------> distance the kitten runs before being caught by the puppy
Remember that
The speed is equal to divide the distance by the time
v=d/t
solve for t
t=d/v
so
equate the time
x/20=(180+x)/25
25x=20(180+x)
25x=3,600+20x
25x-20x=3,600
x=3,600/5=720 m
t=d/v=720/20=36 sec
or
t=(720+180)/25=900/25=36 sec
It would be 9/8, 6/5, 1 1/4, 14/1
The bicyclist travels 90 miles in 5 hours
90÷18=5
