    The answer to your question is: 12 seconds

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Lion v = 75 ft/s

    wildebeest = 66 ft/s and is 108 feet behind the lion

    t = time = ?

    Formula

    v = d / t solve for d d = vt

    Process

    lion d = 75t

    wildebeest = d = 108 + 66t

    Now

    75t = 108 + 66t

    solve for t 75t - 66t = 108

    9t = 108

    t = 12 s
