Question 342515: two cars traveling 40 and 50 mph leave their starting position at the same time. the faster cars starts out 5 mile behind the slower car. how long will it take for the first car to catch up with the second?

The first 40 mph of the faster car's speed is used to keep up with the slower car. The next 10 mph of the faster car's speed is used to cover the distance between the two cars. So how long would it take a car going 10 miles per hour to go 5 miles?
