You can put this solution on YOUR website! If the robbers rob into house somewhere, and leave that place at 3:15 a.m. on car with average speed of 65 Km/h..... Police runs after them at 4:05 a.m. with average speed of 79 km/h.... When will they catch the robbers???????
------
Robber DATA:
rate = 65 km/h ; distance = x km ; time = x/65 hrs.
-----------------
Police DATA:
rate = 73 km/h ; distance = x km ; time = x/73 hrs
------
Equation:
robber time - police time = 5/6 hr
------
x/65 - x/73 = 5/6
-----
5*73x - 6*65x = 65*73*5
-----------------
8*5x = 65*73*5
x = 593 1/8 km
==================
Robber time: x/65 = 9 1/8 hr
3:15 + (9 1/8 hr) = 12:22.5 PM
-----------------------------------
