A white-tailed deer is running from a black bear at 20 miles per hour. It is 1/3 miles in front of the bear. The bear is running at 30 miles per hour. How many minutes will it take the bear to catch the deer? Assume both continue running at a constant pace.

Answer:

Explanation:

d=20t+1/3, b=30t

20t+1/3=30t

10t=1/3

t=1/30 hr

t=(1/30)60=2 min
