document.write( "Question 1121506: Vehicle A is traveling at 65 mph and travels a total distance of 1.6 miles. Vehicle B is setting at a standstill. Vehicle B waits until Vehilce A is a half mile away from it and decides to intercept Vehicle A. Vehicle B intercepts Vehicle A at the distance of 1.6 miles. So, how fast is Vehicle B traveling when it intercepts Vehicle A? \n" ); document.write( "
