Question 278274
A guy on a bike leaves from point A going 18 MPH. One hour later a car leaves from the same point going 45 MPH. How long will it take for the car to catch the guy on the bike?
---------------------
The bike is 18 miles ahead (and still moving at 18 mph)
The car gains on the bike at 27 mph (45-18)
18 miles/27 mph = 2/3 hours = 40 minutes.
