Distance traveled during the first 4 hours: 500 m Note that the rate here was 125 m/hr.
Distance traveled during the next four hours: 3(125 m/hr)(4 hr) = 375 m
Total distance traveled: 500 m + 375 m = 875 m

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 =
now we know that distance is 4 feet
and the speed is 17 -12 = 5 feet per second
Thus the time is
= 
= 0.8 seconds
