Answer:

Catch Up in 10 seconds

Camilla will run 120 feet

Gabriela will run 100 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Camilla's rate = 12

Gabriella's rate = 10

Camilla is 12 - 10 = 2 ft/sec faster

Since Gabriella has 20 ft head start, Camilla has to catch up 20 feet.

With 2ft/sec catching up rate, it will take:

20/2 = 10 seconds to catch up

So, it will take 10 seconds for Camilla to catch Gabriela

So in 20 seconds,

Camilla will run 12 * 10 =  120 feet

Gabriela will run 10 * 10 = 100 feet
