Question 700152: Car A and car B set off from the same point, at the same time, to travel the same journey. Car A travels at 55 mph and car B travels at 38 mph. If car A stops after 190 miles, how many minutes will it take car B to catch up? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The way I read it, it takes B the amount of time
to go 190 miles where A is stopped. Since B is the
slower car, there is no way it can catch A until
A stops.
B's equation:
It will take B 5 hrs to catch up.
