<PRE><B>Question 1144982</B>
Tom traveled for 2 hours at 10 mph then stopped for 1 hour then continued to travel at the same speed. Gerald started his travel along the same route 3.75 hours later than Tom at 32 mph.

How far from the starting point will Gerald be when he catches up with Tom?

In the first 2 hours, Tom went 20 miles
The next hour he rested
3.75-3=.75 hr.
Then he went .75 *10=7.50 miles

Tom had a headstart of 27.5 mi.
10x+27.5=32x
27.5=22x
x=1.25 hrs

32*1.25=40
They met at the 40 mi marker
check
1.25*10=12.5 mi
27.5+12.5.=40</PRE>
