It would take 11.7 seconds for the sheepdog to catch up with the collie.

To determine the number of seconds after which the sheepdog would catch up with the collie, knowing that the distance of the relay race is 51 feet, and the collie starts the course 0.3 second before the sheepdog, and the collie is running 23.4 feet per second, while the sheepdog is running 24 feet per second, the following calculation must be performed:

  • (23.4 x 0.3) = 7.02
  • 24 - 23.4 = 0.6
  • 7.02 + 23.4X = Y
  • 24X = Y
  • 7.02 / 0.6 = 11.7
  • 7.02 + 23.4 x 11.7 = 280.8
  • 24 x 11.7 = 280.8

Therefore, it would take 11.7 seconds for the sheepdog to catch up with the collie.
