a lion runs 50 miles per hour in pursuit of a zebra running at 40 miles per hour. If the initial distance between them was a quarter of a mile,how long will it take for the lion to catch the zebra?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Let X = the length of time for the lion to catch up with the zebra.
50X = .25 + 40X
10X = .25
X = .25/10 = .025 hr

.025 hr x 60 min/1hr = 1.5 minutes

answer:
5c+4=2(c-5)
opening the parentheses we get:
5c+4=2c-10
putting like terms together we get
5c-2c=-10-4
3c=-14
c=-14/3

so the answer would be A. C = - 4 2/3
