Question 1038141: Anna took her scooter and headed to the beach driving 20 mph. Breanna left two hours later and headed to the beach on her scooter driving 20 mph.
How many hours did Anna drive before Breanna caught up with her?
I feel like, they don't, because Anna and Breanna are traveling at the same rate, but the answer key says, 6 hours.
And ideas are greatly appreciated!!!

Given what you have written, you are correct. I would check the problem carefully to make certain there were no distance differences in where Breanna left compared to Anna or that perhaps one of the speeds was different from the other. Or that Anna stopped for a while. Otherwise, they won't meet.
