1. Suppose that Achilles runs 10 times as fast as the tortoise and that Achilles runs 10 yards a second. Suppose that the initial distance between Achilles and the tortoise is 100 yards. Then Achilles runs successively 100 yards, 10 yards, 1 yard, and so on. Find the total number of yards Achilles must travel in order to catch his competitor and find the total number of yards the tortoise must travel, by using the geometric series that you learned in Calculus. 1 10 yard,
