Question 406733
Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parellel tracks. Train A is traveling at a speed of 40 m.p.h and Train B is traveling at a speed of 50 m.p.h. Train A passes the station at 2:25 p.m. and Train B passes the same station at 2:55 p.m. At this rate, what time will Train B catch up to Train A?
-----------------
Train A is 20 miles away when train B passes the station (0.5 hr * 40 mph)
Train B gains on train A at 10 mph (50 - 40)
20 mi/10 mph = 2 hours to catch up
2:55 + 2 = 4:55 PM
