Question 378936
  <pre><font size = 3 color = "indigo"><b>
Hi,
D = r*t  This question sets up that the distance traveled is the same for each.
Question states: truck traveling at 60mph...left 2 hours later
Let (t + 2)and t represent the respective times traveled by the trucks
50mph(t+2) = 60mph*t
solving for t
50t + 100 = 60t
100 = 10t
10hr = t, time it will take for the truck traveling 60mph to catch up
CHECKING OUR ANSER
50mph*12hr = 60mph*10hr = 600mi (misc info as to the distance traveled by each)
