Question

Suppose a hare spotted a coyote and tried to run away. Coyotes can run at a speed of 70 km/h. Hare's can run at a speed of 65 km/h. How far could the hare run before the coyote catches up? assume the hare is 25 m from the coyote

Answer 1

Answer: 0.35 km or 350 m

Explanation:

      The coyote runs 70 km/h

      The hare runs 65 km/h

      The coyote is 5 km/h faster than the hare

      The hare is 25 m away, 0.025 km

      I will graph this. x is the time passed, y is the distance. The point of intersection is when the coyote catches up.

(0.005, 0.35)

    -> The hare can run 0.35 km before the coyote catches up.
