Question

joann and Marlowe began their race in swimmings.Joann swam at a rate of 1.5 meter/second with a handicap of 25 meters.Marlowe sawm after her at a rate of 2 meter /second. At what distance Malowe catch up Joann

Answer 1

They will be even at 94 meters--as the question asks, or after 40.6 seconds. Applying the Distance = rate x time formula works if you configure it given the data, or for test purposes, one can chart out the distance over time given the 25 meter head start. The main thing in this kind of problem is getting the correct answer, so one may also test-drive the answer choices to find the match.
