You can put this solution on YOUR website! Red and Budd decide to race, with Redd giving Budd a 100-yard head start.
Redd runs at 8 yards per second, and budd runs at 6 yards per second.
In how many seconds will redd catch budd?
:
Let t = time for R to catch B
:
R has to travel 100 yds more than B
:
Write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
R's dist - B's dist = 100
8t - 6t = 100
2t = 100
t = 50 seconds
:
:
Check solution by finding the running dist of each
8*50 - 6*50 =
400 - 300 = 100
