Question 284127: Millicent began the journey at 6 am at 50 kilometers per hour. Beauregard began to chase her at 10 am at 60 kph. What time was it when Beauregard got within 40 kilometers of Millicent Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! m=50*(t+4)
b=60*(t)
m-b=40
If they were trying to meet it would be 10t=200 t=20 20 hours
M went 200 miles from 6 am to 10 am.
in 20 hours for m 1000 from 6 am at 2 am the next day
in 16 hours for b 960
10 am +16 hours =2 am the next day they were within 40 k of each other.
They finally would meet 4 more hours later at 6am the second day
