Question 160725
A migrating elephant herd started moving at a rate of 6 miles per hour. One stood still and was left behind. He got nervous and began running at 10 miles per hour. He caught up to the herd in 5 minutes. How far did he run? How long in hours did he run?
:
Change 5 min to hrs; {{{5/60}}} = .083 hrs
:
Dist = time * speed
.083 * 10 = .83 miles ran the lone elephant to catch up
