How much time did the competition take?
Answers
Competition will take 26 mins as it will be completed when turtle completes the race
Step-by-step explanation:
Achilles runs at a speed of 13 mph
Turtle moves at a speed of 1 mph.
Let say Race is D miles
Time taken by Achilles = D/13 hr
Distance Moved by Turtle = (D/13) * 1 = D/13 miles
D/13 = D - 2/5
=> 5D = 65D - 26
=> 60D = 26
=> D = 26/60 Miles
Total Race = 26/60 miles
Time taken by Achilles = (26/60)/13 = 2/60 hr = 2 mins
Time taken by Turtle = (26/60)/1 = 26/60 hr = 26 mins
Competition will take 26 mins as it will be completed when turtle completes the race
