Two trains are traveling on parallel tracks.
 
 Train A is going 40 mph and Train B is going 48 mph.
 
 Train A will pass the station at 5:20 p.m.
 
 Train B will pass the same station at 5:35 p.m.
 
 At what time will Train B catch up to Train A?
Solution
In the 15 mins from 520 to 535, train A goes 12 miles (48 x 1/4 hour)
 Train B gains on train A at 8 mph (48-40)
 12 miles/8 mph = 1.5 hours
 535 + 130 = 7:05 PM
