Answer 1

Answer:

Ari catches up to Amanda at 19.3 meters

Explanation:

We have given Ari is swimming a 25-meter race.

It is given that after swimming 6 meters she catches up to Amanda in a ratio of 7:3 from the 6-meter mark.

So ,The distance between 6 meters and 25 meters = 25-6 =19 meters

It is given that she catched Amanda in ratio 7:3

So, she catched her at $\frac{7}{10}$ of the distance

So, the distance at which she catched Amanda $\frac{7}{10}\times 19=13.33meter$

Ari catches 13.3 metres from 6 m marks

So the total distance = 13.33+6 =19.33 meters

So Ari catches up to Amanda at a distance of 19.33 meters
