Jason swims at a constant speed of 5 feet per second and gets a 30 second head start over frank . How fast must frank swim in order to reach 300 yards at the same time Jason does

Answer 1

5 ft/sec = Jason's speed. Jason has a 30 second head start

Frank must swim at what speed to reach 300 yards = 900 feet at the same time as Jason?

t = 900/5 = 180 seconds = 3 minutes for Jason to swim 300 yards

Frank reaches 900 feet in 150 seconds 900/150 = 6 feet per second
