Answer: 4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
c=cheetah. a=antelope
a=c+120
c/90=a/60
c/90=(c+120)/60
60*c/90=60*(c+120)/60
6*c/9=c+120
2c/3=c+120
(2c/3=c+120)*3 ==> multiply the equation by 3 to get rid of fractions
2c=3c+360
2c-3c=3c-3c+360
-c=360
c=-360 feet==> position of cheetah before catching up to the antelope. This means that the cheetah needs to travel 360 feet before reaching 0 ft when it catches the antelope.
360 feet * 1 second/90 feet=
360*1/90=
360/90=4 seconds
