Question 825588: a truck travelling at 35 mph left a warehouse at 8 am. at 10 am, a motorcyclist left the warehouse and traveled the same route at 55 mph. at what time did the cyclist overtake the truck? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! in those two hours from 8 am to 10 am the truck traveled 70 miles.
the motorcycle gained 20 mph.
70/20=3.5 hours
add 3.5 to 10 am =13.5
1:30 pm
