Ursula and Andre competed against each other in a swimming race. Ursula swam at a rate of 60 meters per minute and Andre swam at a rate of 48 meters per minute. Ursula gave Andre a 1-minute head start.

Given that the two swimmers competed and Ursula's speed is 60 m/min while Andre's speed is 48 m/min. The distance that the Ursula will catch up with Andre will be:

distance = (relative speed) * (time)

relative speed=60-48=12 m/min

the two swimmers met at a distance of:

12*1

=12 meters
