Question 482853: In a bicycle race, Lionel gives Robert a 500 m advantage. Also, Lionel agrees to start 15 min after Robert. If Lionel bikes at 17 km/h and Robert at 14 km/h, how long will it take Lionel after he starts biking to overtake Robert? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 500 meters at 14 k/h=500/14000=.035714 hrs
17n=14(n+.25)+.035714 hrs=14n+3.535714
3n=3.535714
n=1.178571333 hours..
