Math question
 
Solve this problem and end the debate please....rep or Casino Cash or both for whoever gets the right answer first


you have 2 vehicles, vehicle A and vehicle B. Vehicle A is 10 miles ahead of vehicle B and traveling at 50 MPH. Vehicle B is traveling at 60 MPH in the same direction as vehicle A, how long does it take for vehicle B to catch vehicle A?

1 hour.

Mr. Kotter 02-27-2009 09:32 AM

One hour? :hmmm:

Is this a trick question....?

MagicHef 02-27-2009 09:33 AM

You can set your frame of reference as Vehicle A, so Vehicle B is 10 miles behind, traveling towards it at (60-50)=10 MPH.

So what card counting method are you using, then? :shrug:

What kind of wind resistance are we working with here?

DenverChief 02-27-2009 09:38 AM

well thanks you math whizzes

there had been a debate...another person was arguing that it would ony take 10 mins since vehicle B is traveling at 60 MPH or a mile a minute and vehicle A is traveling at a slower speed

This would have only been true if the speed of vehicle B was 0 MPH.
