Yuto and Riko went for a bike ride on the same path. When Riko left their house, Yuto was 5.25 miles along the path. If Yuto’s a

verage speed was 0.25 miles per minute and Riko’s average speed was 0.35 miles per minute, then Riko will be behind Yuto when 0 ≤ t < 52.5, where t is time in minutes. Explain what this solution means and why t cannot be less than zero

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the statement 0 < t < 52.5 represents all the time values for when Riko is behind Yuto, she catches up to Yuto at 52.5 minutes into her ride. Her ride starts at time of zero , so she can't have a negative time, like -4 because she isn't involved in the activity of riding her bike.

Answer:

The solution means that Riko will be behind Yuto from the time she leaves the house, which corresponds to t = 0, until the time she catches up to Yuko after 52.5 minutes, which corresponds to t = 52.5. The reason that t cannot be less than zero is because it represents time, and time cannot be negative.
