Samir begins riding his bike at a rate of 6 mph. twelve minutes later, chris leaves from the same point and bikes along the same route at 9 mph. at any given time, t, the distance traveled can be calculated using the formula d = rt, where d represents distance and r represents rate. how long after chris begins riding does he catch up to samir? 4 min 12 min 24 min 40 min

The correct answer option is 24 min.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  us assume t to be Chris's time (in hours)  so we can write the following equation:

Samir's time (in hours)  

Chris's rate  

Samir's rate  

Then putting the values in the formula to get:

t = 0.4 which will be

Therefore, Chris catches up Samir after riding for 24 minutes.

step-by-step explanation:

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.
