---------
Jack DATA:
rate = 70 mph ; time = t-(3/2) hrs ; distance = r*t = 70(t-(3/2)) miles
-----------------
John DATA:
rate = 65 mph ; time = t hrs ; distance = r*t = 65t miles
---------------
Equation:
dist = dist
70t - 105 = 65t
5t = 105
t = 21 hrs
-----------------
t - (3/2) = 19.5 hrs (Jack's time)
-----------------
