.
\n" ); document.write( "The hyena should run the distance in  0.3  mile more than the giraffe to overtake the giraffe.  The speed of the hyena relative to the giraffe is  40 - 32 = 8  miles per hour.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Hence,  the hyena will overtake the giraffe in  \"0.3%2F8\" hour = \"%280.3%2F8%29%2A60\" = 2.25  minutes = 2 minutes 15 seconds.\r
