Answer 2

Yoni will catch Traci after 20 minutes.

Explanation:

Let Yoni will catch traci after t minutes.

The speed of Traci is
`(1)/(10)` miles per minute.

The speed of Yoni is
`(1)/(5)` miles per minute.

Yoni run for t minutes, so distance covered by Yoni in t minutes is

`(1)/(5)* t=0.2t`

Traci run for (t+20) minutes, so distance covered by Traci in (t+20) minutes is

`(1)/(10)* (t+20)=0.1(t+20)`

Yoni will catch traci, if

`0.2t=0.1(t+20)`

`0.2t=0.1t+2`

`0.2t-0.1t=2`

`0.1t=2`

Multiply both sides by 10.

`t=20`

Therefore, Yoni will catch Traci after 20 minutes.
