The spy will cover a distance of 60t in t hours and the special agent will cover a distance of 90t in t hours.

What is distance?

Distance is actually known as the amount of space between two points. When calculating speed, it is given as:

Speed = distance ÷ time

The spy's distance in t hours:

Distance = 60 × t = 60t.

The special agent's distance in t hours:

Distance = 90 × t = 90t

The distance between them will be =

Distance of special agent minus distance of the spy: 90t - 60t = 30t.

By the time the chase begins, the distance between the spy and special agent will be:

(2 × 60mph) - 0 = 120m - 0.

= 120m.

Time taken for the special agent to catch the spy: 120 + 60t = 90t

120 = 90t - 60t

120 = 30t

t = 120/30 = 4 hours.

Speed the special agent should chase the spy:

Distance = 240 miles

Time = 4 hours.

Then Speed = 240/4 = 60mph.
