Question 275421: Please help me solve: From a point on a straight road, John and Fred ride bicycles in the Same Direction. John rides 7 miles per hour and Fred rides 13 miles per hour. In how many hours will they be 60 miles apart?

** I know how to do it if they were going different directions but not sure of this problem since they are going SAME direction.
