a passenger jeep traveling at 30 kph leaves a town
\n" ); document.write( " two hours later a car leaves the same town and travel in same at 80 kph
\n" ); document.write( " how long will it take the car to overtake the jeep;
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "let t = travel time of the car
\n" ); document.write( "the jeep started 2 hrs earlier, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "(t+2) = travel time of the jeep
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "When the car overtakes the jeep, they will have traveled the same dist
\n" ); document.write( "Write a dist equation; dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "Car dist = jeep dist
\n" ); document.write( "80t = 30(t+2)
\n" ); document.write( "80t = 30t + 60
\n" ); document.write( "80t - 30t = 60
\n" ); document.write( "50t = 60
\n" ); document.write( "t = 60/50
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1.2 hrs for the car to overtake the gym
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this, find the dist each traveled
\n" ); document.write( "80(1.2) = 96 mi, car
\n" ); document.write( "30(3.2) = 96 mi, jeep
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
