mark leaves the house for school walking at the rate of 4kph. two hours later jane follows mark at a walking rate of 6kph. how long will jane have to walk to overtake mark?
---------------
In 2 hours, Mark is 8 km away. Jane gains on him, or closes, at 2 kph (6-4).
It will take her 4 hours to overtake him (8/2).
