Question 207379
Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks.
Train A is traveling at 60 mph and train B is traveling at 70 mph.
Train A passes a station at 12:20 P.M.
If train B passes the same station at 12:32 P.M.
, at what time will train B catch up to train A?"
-------------
Train A is 12 miles ahead when Train B passes the station (60 mph x 0.2 hours).
Train B is gaining at 10 mph (70-60).
12 miles/10 mph = 1.2 hours or 1 hr 12 minutes
12:32 + 1:12 = 1344 (or 1:44 P.M.)
