Question 407702: A cyclist leaves his training base for a morning workout, riding at the rate of 16 mph. One hour later, his support staff leaves the base in a car going 30 mph in the same direction. How long will it take the support staff to catch up with the cyclist once the car leaves the base?
I just wanna fid out how to set it up cause I know the formula(r*t=d) Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t is the time to catch up
the cyclist's time is t plus his one hr head start
they catch up when the staff has traveled the same (equal) distance as the cyclist
