Red and Budd decide to race, with Redd giving Budd a 100-yard head start.
\n" ); document.write( " Redd runs at 8 yards per second, and budd runs at 6 yards per second.
\n" ); document.write( " In how many seconds will redd catch budd?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time for R to catch B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "R has to travel 100 yds more than B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "R's dist - B's dist = 100
\n" ); document.write( "8t - 6t = 100
\n" ); document.write( "2t = 100
\n" ); document.write( "t = 50 seconds
\n" ); document.write( ":
