Peter leaves Mitchell's house traveling 30 mph. Mitchell leaves 15 min later, trying to catch up to peter, going 40 mph, if they drive along the same route how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter?

Given :

Peter velocity , P = 30 mph .

Mitchell velocity , M = 40 mph .

Mitchell leaves 15 min later .

To Find :

If they drive along the same route how long will it take Mitchell to catch Peter.

Solution :

Distance covered by Peter in 15 min .

Let , time taken is x .

So , distance covered b them is equal :

Therefore , time taken by them is 45 minutes .

Hence , this is the required solution .

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
