Answer:
t = 10 minutes
Emma’s scarf will be longer than tish scarf after 10 minutes
Explanation:
Given;
The length of tish scarf after t minutes can be written as;
L1 = 17.75 + 2 3/8 ×t
L1 = 17.75 + 2.375t
The length of emma scarf after t minutes can be written as;
L2 = 4 + 3 3/4 × t
L2 = 4 + 3.75t
For emma scarf to be longer than tish;
L2 >/= L1
At L2 = L1
4+3.75t = 17.75 + 2.375t
Solving for t
3.75t - 2.375t = 17.75 - 4
1.375t = 13.75
t = 13.75/1.375
t = 10 minutes
Emma’s scarf will be longer than tish scarf after 10 minutes
