A tortoise and a hare are competing in a 1200-meter race. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 820-meter head start. When the start gun is fired the hare begins running at a constant speed of 8 meters per second and the tortoise begins crawling at a constant speed of 4.5 meters per second. Which of the following formulas expresses the distance between the tortoise and the hare in meters, d, in terms of the number of seconds, t, since the start gun was fired? Od = 820 - 8t Od = 820 + 3.5t Od = 820 - 3.5t Od = 1200 3.5t Od = 1200 - (8t + 4.5t)
