After robbing the ban in Yuma City, the Dalton brothers galloped away at 24km/h. Fifteen minutes later the posse left at 28 km/h. How long did it take the posse to overtake the Daltons?
-----------
In 15 mins, they were 6 km away (24 * 1/4)
The posse gains on them at 4 km/hr (28 - 24)
6/4 = 1.5 hours
