: Susie left her home at 11 am traveling along Route 1 at 30 miles per hour. At I pm, her brother Richard left home and started after her on the same road at 45 miles per hour. At what time did Richard catch up to Susie. I know the formula t=d/r but how do you plug in everything since there are more steps. Thank You! This question is from textbook
