One car traveling 40 Kmhr left a certain place 4 hours later
One car traveling 40 Km/hr left a certain place 4 hours later than another car traveling in the same direction at the rate of 30 km/hr. In how many hours will the faster car overtake the other?
Solution
D=RT
 D=30T
 D=40(T-4)
 SEEING AS THE 2 DISTANCES ARE THE SAME THEN:
 30T=40(T-4)
 30T=40T-160
 30T-40T=160
 -10T=-160
 T=-160/-10
 T=16 HOURS THEY WILL MEET.
 PROOF:
 30*16=40(16-4)
 480=40*12
 480=480
