Question 349092: A car leaves manila, heading toward a resort, at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. On a parrallel track, another car leaves Manila a half hour later and travels at an average speed of 90 miles per hour. At what points will car B pass A? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Car A 60 mph
Car B 90 mph
..
Car B catches up 30 mph
..
Car B leaves 1/2 later.
By that time car A has traveled 1/2 * 60 = 30 miles.
...
time = distance / speed
time = 30/30 = 1 hour.
