Milton ran north at 8 kilometers per hour. four hours later harriet set out in pursiut at 16 kilometer per hour. how long did it take harriet to catch milton?

The answer to your question is:    t = 4 hours  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Milton   v = 8 km/h

time = 4 hours

Harriet   v = 16 km/h

Formula

v = d/t  or d = vt

Process

Find the distance travel by Milton in 4 hours

                               d = (8 )(4) = 32 km

Find the distance travel by each person

Milton   d = 32 + 8t

Harriet  d = 16t

 Match them                            16t = 32 + 8t

Solve for t                                 16t - 8t = 32

                                                 8t = 32

                                                 t = 32/8

                                                 t = 4 hours
