90 miles hare have to travel.

Let t be the time before the hare and the tortoise meet.
In t hours, the hare will travel 10t miles.
In t hours, the tortoise will travel 1t miles.

Now,
10t + 1t = 99
So, t = 99/11 = 9 hours.

Thus, distance traveled by hare before meeting = 10* 9 = 90 miles.

Where Distance = Speed *Time

The relative speed is (10+1)miles per hour
Both are going to meet =distance/relative speed
=99/11=9hours
After 9 hours they meet each other
By that time the hare must have travelled =9*10=90 miles
