Answer: No, Ned will never catch up to Karen.
Step-by-step explanation:
Karen started walking at 1 mile per hour.
Time = distance/speed
If she walks 2.5 miles, it means that the time she spent walking is
2.5/1 = 2.5 hours.
After she walked 2.5 miles, her friend Ned started walking along the same route at a speed of 1 mile per hour. Since Ned is walking at 1 mile per hour which is even slower than Karen's speed, it means that for every 1 mile that Ned walks, Karen walks 2.5 miles. Therefore, if
they continue to walk at the same rate, Ned will never catch up to Karen.
