If it takes Dances 60 seconds & they meet every 20 seconds then they will see each other 3 times before they both get to the finish. Therefore..........erm..............you do 60 divided by 3 = 20.Man i duno!!!!!! |

Sorry Valley - Not correctThough it is true that you have to compare their two times. Hint - think where they will be on the track when they meet |

60= Dances20 secs = the time they meet Therefore if they meet every 20 seconds they meet at every third of Dances run. So Dances meets him three times on one of his laps. So therefore he takes 60 secs to run the three thrids of the track?! |

Puzzle 8
dances will be a third of the way around the track but the wolves will be 2/3 of the way because they are running in opposite directions- it would take 30 secs because they 2/3 is equal to 20 secs 20 divided by 2 equals 10 10x3????
