Answer
Step-by-step solution
4 stepsCalculate the distance Wafula covered before Nekesa started.
Wafula started at 8:00 am. Nekesa started at 8:21 am.
Time difference = .
Convert minutes to hours:Wafula's speed = .
Distance covered by Wafula = Speed TimeThis is the head start distance Wafula has.
Calculate the relative speed of Nekesa with respect to Wafula.
Both are moving in the same direction.
Nekesa's speed = .
Wafula's speed = .
Relative speed = Nekesa's speed - Wafula's speedCalculate the time it takes for Nekesa to catch up with Wafula.
Time to catch up = Head start distance / Relative speed
Convert 0.5 hours to minutes: .
So, the time to catch up is 4 hours and 30 minutes.Determine the time Nekesa caught up with Wafula.
Nekesa started at 8:21 am.
Catch-up time = Nekesa's start time + Time to catch upThe time Nekesa caught up with Wafula is .
