It takes them 12 seconds to eat the whole sausage.
What is speed?
Speed is the rate of change of distance.
Analysis:
If kitten eats x cm, then puppy will eat 14 - x cm
speed = d/t
speed of kitten = 1/2
speed of puppy = 2/3
1/2 = x/t
2/3 = 14 - x / t
t = 2x--------1
2t = 3(14 - x ) -------- 2
substitute t in equation 2
2(2x) = 3(14 - x)
4x = 42 - 3x
7x = 42
x = 42/7 = 6cm
substitute value of x in equation 1
t = 2(60 = 12 seconds.
In conclusion, it takes the both animals 12 seconds to finish the sausage.
