Joshua and Peter were traveling from Town A to Town B in their respective vehicle.
They were both traveling at constant speed throughout the journey, Joshua's speed was 75km/h.
When Peter reached the mid point, Joshua was 22.5km ahead of him.
What time did Peter reached Town B if Joshua reached a town B at 11.45am?
:
When P is at midpoint, J is 22.5%2F75 = .3 hrs or .3(60) = 18 min ahead of P
Therefore, at the completion J would be 2(18) = 36 min ahead of P
:
" What time did Peter reached Town B if Joshua reached a town B at 11.45am?"
11:45 + :36 = 12:21 Pm P arrives at B
