Question

A car passes a landmark on a highway traveling at a constant rate of
55
kilometers per hour. One hour later, a second car passes the same landmark traveling in the same direction at
63
kilometers per hour. How much time after the second car passes the landmark will it overtake the first car?

Answer 1

Let t = time for the 2nd car to catch the 1st
From the information given, we know that the first car is 55 km ahead of the 2ndcar when it passes the marker.
:
write a distance equation, dist = speed * time

Answer 2

63t=55t+55
8t=55
t=6.875
