Question 474046: If car 1 leaves @ 50mph..Car 2 leaves from the same point after car 1 reaches those miles.. how long until car 2 reaches car 1.. How many minutes? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many miles is "those miles?"
How fast does the 2nd car go?
------------------------
Car 1 is 50t miles ahead, t = # of hours between start times of the cars
Car 2 travels at r mph, r > 50
---------------------
Car 2 overtakes car 1 in 50t/(r-50) hours
= 3000t/(r-50) minutes.
---------------------------
I doubt this is the problem you were given.
