\n" ); document.write( "The distances are the same; the speeds are in the ratio 120:144 = 5:6. That means the times are in the ratio 6:5.

\n" ); document.write( "Charlene took 50 minutes at the higher speed, so Hillary took 60 minutes.

\n" ); document.write( "So Charlene took 10 minutes less than Hillary; since Hillary left at 10am, and since they arrived at the same time, Charlene left at 10:10am.
