<PRE><B>Question 147707</B>
Train A is traveling at 60 mph and train B is traveling at 80 mph, train A passes a bus stop at 7:25 AM and train B passes the bus stop at 7:40 AM, what time will B catch up with A?
---------------
Train A DATA:
rate = 60 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x miles
--------------------
Train B DATA:
rate = 80 mph ; time = (x-(1/4)) hr; distance = 80(x-(1/4) = (80x - 20) miles 
----------------
EQUATION:
distance for A = distance for B
60x = 80x - 20
20x = 20
x = 1 hr
---------------
B will catch A at 8:25
