Question 715786:
A speeding car is going 75mph and has a 1-hour head start on a helicopter trying to overtake the car. The helicopter is traveling at 150mph. how far from the starting point does the helicopter overtake the car? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT
D=75T FOR THE CAR
D=150(T-1)
75T=150(T-1)
75T=150T-150
75T-150T==-150
-75T=-150
T=-150/-75
T=2 HOURS THEY WILL MEET.
D=75*2=150 MILES ANS.
D=150(2-1)=150*1=150 MILES ANS.
