Alion is running 75 feet per second and is 108 feet behind a wildebeest that is running at 66 feet per second. a lion can only maintain this speed for a very short period. how many seconds will it take lion to catch up to the wildebeest?

12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

75 t=66t+108

75t-66t=108

9t=108

t=108/9=12

The answer to your question is: 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Lion v = 75 ft/s

wildebeest = 66 ft/s and is 108 feet behind the lion

t = time = ?

Formula

v = d/ t    solve for d   d = vt

Process

lion      d = 75t

wildebeest =   d = 108 + 66t

Now

                    75t = 108 + 66t

solve for t     75t - 66t = 108

                     9t = 108

                       t = 12 s

C is the answer for your question
