Question

At 9:30 am, Hudson and Colin leave on a bicycle trip. Their average speed is 20 km/ h. At 11:30 am, Danielle leaves from the same place and starts driving after them in her car. Her average speed is 60 km/ h. Create a system to determine how long will it take Danielle to catch up with Hudson and Colin?

Answer 1

Explanation:

11:30-9:30=2

so Danielle starts 2 hrs late.

let Danielle catches them after x hrs.

x×60=(x+2)×20

divide by 20

3x=x+2

3x-x=2

2x=2

x=1

so Danielle takes 1 hour to catches them.
