<PRE><B>Question 10289</B>
Let x = time of the police in hours
x+ 1/4 = time of the bank robbers in hours
110 = rate of police
100 = rate of bank robbers


Distance = Distance
RT = RT
{{{110(x)  = 100(x+ 1/4)}}}
110x = 100x + 25
10x = 25
x = 2.5 hrs from the time the police began the chase
x + 1/4 = 2.75 hrs = time of bank robbers before being caught by police.


Police will travel 2.5* 110 = 275 miles.
Bank robbers travel 2.75*100 = 275 miles. 

It checks!
