Ten minutes later means, truck was traveling for 1%2F6 hour.
The two vehicles are 60%281%2F6%29=10 miles apart when the car enters the freeway.

The car approaches the truck at 7 mph.

At least x time in hours for car to pass the truck.
7x=10

highlight%28x=10%2F7%29highlight%28hours%29


1 hour 26 minutes
