A truck enters a highway driving 60 mph. A car enters the highway at the same
\n" ); document.write( " place 13 minutes later and drives 73 mph in the same direction.
\n" ); document.write( " From the time the car enters the highway, how long will it take the car to pass the truck.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When the truck enters the highway, the car is 13 min behind the truck
\n" ); document.write( "How far can the car travel in 13 min? \"13%2F60\" * 73 = 15.8 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time for car to catch truck
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "73t = 60t + 15.8
\n" ); document.write( "73t - 60t = 15.8
\n" ); document.write( "13t = 15.8
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"15.8%2F13\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1.2 hrs car catches truck \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
