Two cars left in the same direction and are traveling at speeds of 75 km / h and 90 km / h.

Two cars left in the same direction and are traveling at speeds of 75 km / h and 90 km / h. The first car left 2 hours earlier. Will the second car catch up? At what distance from the beginning of the path?

1. Determine the distance that the first car will travel in 2 hours:

75 x 2 = 150 km;

2. Determine the distance by which the distance will be reduced in one hour:

90 – 75 = 15 km;

3. Determine the time for which the second car will catch up with the first:

150: 15 = 10 hours;

4. Determine the distance from the start of the path when the second car overtakes the first:

90 x 10 = 900 km.

Answer: The second car will catch up with the first one in 10 hours at a distance of 900 km from the start of the journey.
