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 hour = 10t miles and she already has covered 0.5 miles, so total distance covered by Tara
miles.
Similarly, the distance covered by Felipe in hour = 15t miles and he already has covered 0.25 miles, so the total distance covered by Tara
miles.
Therefore, at the time then Felipe reached Tara, both have covered the same distance, i.e
hour
Hence, after 0.5 hours Tara will cover lesser miles than Felipe .
