Problema Solution
A bus leaves Syracuse at 12:00 p.m. and travels due South on Interstate 31 at a constant rate of 55 miles per hour. Aytac was left behind and leaves Syracuse in a taxicab at 1:00p.m. in pursuit of the bus. The taxicab travels at a constant rate of 65 miles an hour. Let T represent time in hours after 12:00 p.m.
Answer provided by our tutors
T: time in hours after 12:00 p.m
Distance of bus = 55T
Distance of taxi = 65(T-1)
When taxi catches up with bus
55T = 65(T-1)
T = 6.5
So at 18:30 pm, taxi catches up with bus
