Question 1144443: Garrett leaves school to walk home. His friend, Jessica, notices 0.3 hours later that Garrett forgot his phone at the school. So Jessica rides her bike to catch up to Garrett and give him the phone. If Garrett walks at 4.8 mph and Jessica rides her bike at 9.4 mph, find how long (in hours) she will have to ride her bike until she catches up to him.

4.8 mph is not walking.
I am curious what method Jessica used to determine that it was .3 hours since Garrett left school. What type timepiece shows that ?

How you do format your post, clearly shows that you don't want and even are not going to do something on your own.

Therefore, and as a consequence, the tutors don't want to do your job instead of you.

Think on what I am explaining to you.

            If you can think, of course (except of copying and pasting).

We, the tutors, work voluntarily here at this forum, not to replace you and do your job.

We are here to teach students, when we see that the students want it.
