A cat chases a mouse. The cat is originally 4 feet behind the mouse, which is running in the same direction along the same route

Darya [45]

The cat will take 0.8 seconds to catch up with the mouse

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The distance between the cat and the mouse = 4 feet

cat's speed = 17 feet per second.

mouse's speed = 12 feet per second

To Find:

how long will it take the cat to catch up with the mouse = ?

Solution:

We know that

distance = speed x time

Rewriting the equation for time we get

time = $\frac{distance }{speed}$

now we know that distance is 4 feet

and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second

Thus the time is

= $\frac{4}{5}$

= 0.8 seconds
