NEED HELP ASAP!!

The Turtle and Achilles compete. They start at the same time from the same place. Achilles runs at a speed of 13 mph while the Turtle moves at a speed of 1 mph. When Achilles reaches the finish line, the Turtle is 2/5 of a mile behind him. How much time did the competition take? 10 points!!

Answer 1

t=1/30 h = 2 min

Explanation:

d = vt

system of equations:

d = 13t

d - 2/5 = t -> d = t+2/5

Solve

13t = t +2/5

t = 1/30 h = 60 min / 30 = 2 min
