8.1. "Just you wait!" roared the wolf, noticing the hare 30 m away, and rushed after him when the hare had 333 m left to reach his hiding place. Will the wolf catch the hare if the wolf runs 600 m per minute and the hare runs 550 m per minute? Justify your answer.
# 8.1. Answer. Will catch up.

Solution. The closing speed of the wolf and the hare is 50 m per minute. So, the wolf needs $\frac{3}{5}$ minutes to catch the hare. But in this time, the hare will run 330 m, which means it will just barely not make it to the shelter.
