1 mile / 1x1 hour / 20 miles = 1/20 x 60 / 1= 3 minutes
In this time, a person running at 10 MPH could run 6 minutes as shown by this
calculation:
1 mile / 1 x 1 hour / 10 miles = 1/10 x 60 /1= 6 minutes
If the animal can run 1 mile and the person can run 2 of a mile in this time, then the
person needs to be .5 miles away in order to have a safe distance as demonstrated by the
following calculation:
3 minutes x 10 miles / 60 minutes =30/60%3.5miles
Repeating this process for the remaining animals, we get the head starts shown in the following
table below:
