Answer 1

Answer:

12.0 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

12.0 kilometers

Answer 2

Answer:-

Both thief and owner need to travel the same distance for the owner to catch the thief. Also the time taken bt thief is 1 hr more than that of the owner to cover the same distance.

So let the owner take the x distance to cover the distance. Thief will take x+1 hr to do the same.

Now, 45(x+1)=54x

45x+45=54x

45=54x-45x

45=9x

x=5

Hence, the owner will catch the theif at:-

2pm+5hrs=7pm.

Hope it helps you....
