where t is the time in minutes that they will get to the front of the line.
Answer:
It will take 25 minutes to reach first in line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given in the question:
Distance between Jackson and his friend = 40 feet
Rate at which the line is moving = 16 feet per 10 minute
Thus, time taken by Jackson to reach the position his friend is standing is given by:
[tex]\text{Time taken = }\displaystyle\frac{\text{Distance}}{Rate}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Time taken} = \displaystyle\frac{40\text{ feet}}{16\text{ feet per 10 minute}}[/tex]
[tex]= \displaystyle\frac{40\times 10}{16} = 25\text{ minutes}[/tex]
Proportion used can be written as
[tex]Time:10::40:16[/tex]
