Answer:

The time taken for Quinn to catch up to Tracy during the journey is 8.5 hours.

Time of motion of Tracy and Quinn

The time of motion of tracy and quinn is determined by using the following equation as shown below;

For tracy, d = 55(t + 1)

For Quinn, d = 65t
where;

  • t is the time taken for Quinn to catch up to Tracy

55(t + 1) = 65t

55t + 55 = 65t

55 = 10t

t = 55/10

t = 5.5 hours

3 hour from noon + 5.5 hours = 8.5 hours
