A truck traveling at a constant rate of 45 miles per hour leaves Albany. One hour later a car traveling at a constant rate of 60 miles per hour also leaves Albany traveling in the same direction of the same highway. How long will it take for the car to catch up to the truck if both vehicles continue in the same direction on the highway? ----------- In 1 hour, the 1st truck has gone 45 miles. The 2nd truck gains on it at 15 mph (60 - 45) 45/15 = 3 hours ------------ That's 3 hours after the car leaves, 4 hours after the truck has left.

Travel_Word_Problems/362543: An elderly wildebeest scents a lion and starts running away at 40mph. .02 hours later (about 1 minute) the lion starts running after the wildebeest at 50 mph. Presuming the lion and the wildebeest started from the same spot, how long will it take the lion to catch the wildebeest? 1 solutions Answer 258425 by Alan3354(31532)   on 2010-10-27 14:29:14 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! An elderly wildebeest scents a lion and starts running away at 40mph. .02 hours later (about 1 minute) the lion starts running after the wildebeest at 50 mph. Presuming the lion and the wildebeest started from the same spot, how long will it take the lion to catch the wildebeest? ----------------- In 0.02 hours the wildebeest will be 0.8 miles away (40*0.02) The lion gains on him at 10 mph (50 - 40) 0.8/10 = 0.08 hours = 4.8 minutes =============== A different method: They will travel the same distance. For the wb: d = 40(t + 0.02) For the lion: d = 50t 50t = 40(t + 0.02) 50t = 40t + 0.8 10t = 0.8 t = 0.08 hours t = 4.8 minutes. ----------------- The other tutor got 6 minutes, but that's the time the wb was running, not the time the lion was chasing it.
