Answer 1

Answer:

It will take you 1/2 hour to catch up.

Step-by-step explanation:

We Know

You are biking at a speed of 18 miles per hour.

You are 3 miles behind your friend, who is biking at a speed of 12 miles per hour.

The equation will be:

18h = 12h + 3

Find the amount of time it takes for you to catch up.

18h = 12h + 3

6h = 3

h = 3/6 = 1/2 hour

So, it will take you 1/2 hour to catch up.
