A puppy and a kitten are 180 meters apart when they see each other. The puppy can run at a speed of 25 m/sec, while the kitten can run at a speed of 20 m/sec.

Answer:

36 seconds

Explanation:

Distances covered in time t:

Puppy: 25t

Kitten: 20t

Assuming the kitten is 180m ahead of the puppy:

25t = 20t + 180

5t = 180

t = 36 seconds
