Car speed 45 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Van speed 60 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Car speed 08:00
\n" ); document.write( "Van speed 10:00
\n" ); document.write( "Difference in time= 02:00 => 2 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Car speed will have covered 90 miles before van starts
\n" ); document.write( "catch up distance= 90 miles
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 60 -45 mph
\n" ); document.write( "catch up speed = 15 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 90 / 15
\n" ); document.write( "catch up time= 6 hours
\n" ); document.write( "They will meet at 10:00
\n" ); document.write( "Van speed speed = 60 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Time to catch up = 6 hours\r
