At 8:00am Sue leaves home traveling at 50mph. At 9:00am Jack notices she forgot her briefcase so he leaves to take it to her, traveling at 60mph. At what time will Jack catch up with sue?
------------
At 9:00 Sue is 50 miles ahead.
Jack "gains on her" at 10 mi/hr
50/10 = 5 hours to overtake her.
0900 + 5 hours = 1400 or 2 PM
