Antelope and Kangaroo Problem
At school we are completing our unit on data management and beginning to work on patterning and algebra. We have been expressing our pattern rules in t-charts and words and have created growing and repeating patterns using math manipulatives. Next week we will begin looking at number patterns. This week's challenge introduces number patterns to students.
A pronghorn antelope can run at a speed of 28 metres/second. A kangaroo travels at 14 metres/second. Suppose that an antelope and a kangaroo had a race, and the kangaroo had a head start of 100m. Will the antelope pass the kangaroo? If so, how many seconds would it take the antelope to pass the kangaroo?
