Question

Tara has ridden her bike .5 miles and

Answer 1

Answer:

0.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Tara has covered 0.50 miles and  rides with a speed of 10 miles/hour. Felipe has  covered bike 0.25 miles and rides with a speed of 15  miles/hour.

Tara has covered more distance while the speed of Felipe is more than the speed of Tara.

Assuming that in time t hour, Felipe reaches Tara, then Tara left behind as Felipe has faster speed.

So, after t hour, Felipe will be ahead of Tara and Tara will cover lesser miles than Felipe .

As distance = speed x time, so

So, the distance covered by Tara in $t$ hour = 10t miles and she already has covered 0.5 miles, so total distance covered by Tara $= 0.5+10t$ miles.

Similarly, the distance covered by Felipe in $t$ hour = 15t miles and he already has covered 0.25 miles, so the total distance covered by Tara $= 0.25+15t$ miles.

Therefore, at the time then Felipe reached Tara, both have covered the same distance, i.e

$0.25+15t=0.5+10t \\\\\Rightarrow 15t-10t=0.5-0.25 \\\\\Rightarrow 5t=0.25$

$\Rightarrow t= 0.25/5=0.5$ hour

Hence, after 0.5 hours Tara will cover lesser miles than Felipe .
