The speed of the fox should be greater than the rabbit's speed in other to catch up, Hence, the speed of the fox must be 35/t + 40

The distance between the rabbit and fox, d = 35 feets

The rabbit's speed = 40 feets per second

Fox's speed = F

In other to obtain a specific speed for the fox, the time at which the fox is required to catch up with the rabbit should be given.

Let the time = t

Recall :

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

Rabbit's distance from fox after time t will be :

35 + (40 × t) = 35+40t

Fox's distance after time, t = fox speed × t = F × t

In other to catch up ; both fox and rabbit must be at the same distance ;

Rabbit's distance at time t = Fox's distance at time t

35+40t = Ft

To solve for F which is the fox's speed:

Divide both sides by t

(35+40t) / t = Ft/t

35/t + 40 = F

Hence, the fox' s speed must be : 35/t + 40

To obtain the exact speed of the fox, we must be given a specific time value.
