Q:

Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s average speed was 0.25 miles per minute and Riko’s average speed was 0.35 miles per minute, then Riko will be behind Yuto when 0 ≤ t < 52.5, where t is time in minutes. Explain what this solution means and why t cannot be less than zero.

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:the statement  0 < t < 52.5  represents all the time values for when Riko is behind Yuto,   she catches up to Yuto at 52.5 minutes into her ride.   Her ride starts at time of zero , so she can't have a negative time,  like -4  because she isn't involved in the activity of riding her bike.
