Question

a cheetah running at a speed of 90 feet per second is 100 feet behind a gazelle running at a speed of 70 feet per second.how long will it take for the cheetah to catch up to the gazelle?

Answer 1

And you just posted that question in languages???????????????

Answer 2

Lets say the cheetah was at point 0. The gazelle, would be at point 100.

First second, cheeta (c) would advance to 90 feet. Gazelle (g) would go to 170 feet (cause it started at 100). That makes it 90-170. Next second, another 90 for c, and 70 for g. 180-240. Next second, 270-310. Then next, 360-380. Then, finally, 450-450. Lets count how many that was seconds that was, then you get your answer.

Good luck!

something like this...
