Question 524387: Robert leaves the gym at 5:00 p.m. Fifteen minutes
later, Eddie notices Robert's house keys and runs
after him. If Robert walks at 6 miles pet hour and
Eddie runs at 9 miles per hour ,how long will it take
Eddie to catch up to Robert? Trying to study but
this isn't in the text book. Help! Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Distance equals rate times time. Figure out how far Robert traveled in 15 minutes (1/4 hour) at 6 miles per hour. Then figure how long it will take Eddie to cover that distance at 9 minus 6 is 3 miles per hour using time equals distance divided by rate.
