Answer:

A: 9 seconds

B: 144 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

A:

Let t = no. of seconds for them to meet

When they meet the sum of their distances is 270 ft, dist = rate * time

16t + 14t = 270

30t = 270

t = 270/30

t = 9 seconds

B:

He ran 9 sec at 16 ft/sec, therefore:

9 * 16 = 144 ft
A: 9

B: 144

I’m pretty sure that’s the answers
