Question 259590: Carlos leaves Los Angeles on a cross-country car trip at 8:00 a.m. He averages 50 miles per hour. Juanita plans to take exactly the same route, but does not leave until 9:00 a.m. She averages 60 miles per hour. Develop a diagram or table to determine at what time Juanita will pass Carlos.

In 1 hour, from 0800 to 0900, Carlos has gone 50 miles.
Juanita gains on him at 10 mph (60-50).
She will pass him in 5 hours (50/10).
0900 + 500 = 1400, or 2 PM.
--------------
I see no need for a diagram or a table.
