I have a quiz tomorrow and I have been studying in math but I just cant wrap my head around these type of questions. I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through it in detail.
\n" ); document.write( " Question down below.
\n" ); document.write( "Batman leaves the airport in the Bat-copter at a speed of 240 mph
\n" ); document.write( "Wonder Woman leaves the same airport in her invisible airplane three hours
\n" ); document.write( "later, how long will it take her to catch up if she is traveling at a speed
\n" ); document.write( "of 600 mph
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When WW catches Bm, they will have traveled the same distance so we don't need that variable, you could say D1 = D2
\n" ); document.write( "t = WW's travel time
\n" ); document.write( "then 3 hrs longer
\n" ); document.write( "(t+3) = Bm's travel time
\n" ); document.write( "so we have a distance equation dist = speed*time
\n" ); document.write( "WW's dist = Bm's dist
\n" ); document.write( "600t = 240(t+3)
\n" ); document.write( "600t = 240t + 720
\n" ); document.write( "600t - 240t = 720
\n" ); document.write( "360t = 720
\n" ); document.write( "t = 720/360
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2 hrs is WW's time, (5 hrs is Bm's time)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Confirm this by finding the distance of each, should be the same
\n" ); document.write( "2(600) = 1200 mi
\n" ); document.write( "5(240) = 1200 mi
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
