I am helping my friend move by driving his car cross country behind the rental truck he is driving. As we start, he points out that the car needs gasoline. He says he’ll go on ahead because the truck will go only 55 mph and I can catch up with him. That was at 8 a.m. After filling the tank I leave the gas station 15 minutes behind him. If I drive 60 mph, how long will I have to drive for AND how many miles will I have driven to catch up with him?

I was hoping someone would respond to this to verify my assistance for a solution at: http://openstudy.com/users/radar#/updates/55155c7ee4b01c2adc8aa421

The part that I did not answer was how many miles will I have to drive to catch up. I did calculate the time it would take to catch up. Just multiply that by 60 mph for the number of miles.

OpenStudy (radar):

165 miles to catch up.
