Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 60 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 64 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 6:25 A.M. If train B passes the same station at 6:55 A.M., at what time will train B catch up to train A?
-----------------
In 30 minutes, train A goes 30 miles (60*0.5)
Train B gains on train A at 4 mph (64-60)
30/4 = 7.5 hours
0655 + 730 = 1425 or 2:25 PM
