<PRE><B>Question 912723</B>
At 8 am , Madge leaves home on a business trip traveling an incredible 35 mph.
--------------------------
A half hour later, Dorkus discovers that Madge forgot her briefcase. 

Unable to operate a cell phone, he hopes on his Harley and guns it, only to realized he forgot the briefcase as well. 
-----------------------
Finally , 15 minutes after he realized she left without the case, he zooms down the highway at a reckless 59 mph. 
-------------------------
When will he catch up with Madge?
Madge DATA
total time:: (1/2) hr + (1/4)hr + t hrs = (3/4)+t hrs
Rate:::: 35 mph
Total distance::: 35[(3/4)+t] miles
---------
Dorkus DATA:
time = t hrs
rate = 59 mph
distance::: 59t miles
---------------------------
Equation:
distance = distance
35[(3/4)+t] = 59t
----
35(3/4) + 35t = 59t
24t = 26.25
time = 1.09375 hrs
----
Ans: 9:00 + 1.09 hrs = 10.05 AM
