Question 446844: There are two trains. The rabbit heads north on the expressway at 45 kph. Exactly 12 minutes after, the panther follows at a steady speed of 54 kph. How long does it take the panther to overtake the rabbit? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! rabbit 45 mph
Panther 54 mph
Difference in time=00:12= 0.2 hours
Rabbit will have covered 9miles before Panther starts
catch up distance= 9 miles
catch up speed = 54 -45 mph
catch up speed = 9 mph
Catchup time = catchup distance/catch up speed
catch up time= 9 / 9
catch up time= 1 hour
