From the question we are told

Mariel and Liu are running a long-distance race. Mariel runs at a rate of 5.4 m/s, and Liu runs at a rate of 7.6 m/s. If Mariel has a 20 m head start, how long will it take for Liu to catch Mariel?

Generally the equation for the Average speed is  mathematically given as

[tex]v_a=\frac{5.4+7.6}{2}\\\\V_a=6.5m/s[/tex]

Therefore

How long it will take for Liu to catch Mariel is mathematically given as

[tex]t=\frac{20}{6.5}[/tex]

t=3.076s
