Question

A Car A left City​ X, traveling at an average velocity of 60 miles per hour. Three hours​ later, a Car B left City​ X, traveling on the same road at an average velocity of 80 miles per hour. When will the Car B catch up to the Car​ A? How far will each car have​ traveled?

Answer 1

Answer:

Car B will catch Car A in 9 hours

Distant = 720 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

After 3 hours, Car A traveled 3 * 60 = 180 miles and you need to find the time when both have traveled the same distant

180 + 60x = 80x

180 = 20x

x = 9

Distant = 80 * 9 = 720 miles
