A car leaving the exit traveling 60 mph and a truck leaving 10 minutes later traveling 65 mph.
When will they meet?
:
We are dealing with mph here, change 10 min to hr
:
When the truck catches the car, they will have traveled the same distance.
Write a dist equation; dist = speed * time
:
Let t = travel time of the truck
then
(t+) = travel time of the car
:
65t = 60(t+)
65t = 60t + 10
65t - 60t = 10
5t = 10
t = 10/5
t = 2 hrs after the truck left the exit
:
:
Confirm this find the distance each traveled
60 * 2 = 130 mi
65 * 2 = 130 mi
