A puppy and a kitten are 180 feet apart when they see each other. The puppy can run at a speed of 25 feet per second, while the kitten can run at a speed of 20 feet per second.

How long will it take the kitten to catch up to the puppy if the puppy runs away from the kitten, and the kitten simultaneously starts chasing the puppy?

Answer:

an infinitely long time

Explanation:

You want to know the time it takes for a kitten running 20 ft/s to catch a puppy running 25 ft/s when they start 180 ft apart and the puppy runs away from the kitten.

Never

The kitten runs slower than the puppy, so can never catch up to it.
