Candice and Phoebe are traveling on the same
highway in the same direction. Candice is
traveling at 45 mph and is exactly 40 miles
ahead of Phoebe who is traveling at 55 mph.
How many hours will it take Phoebe to catch
Candice?

Sagot :

Using proportions, it is found that it will take 4 hours for Phoebe to catch Candice.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Given their velocities, and the fact that they travel in the same direction, each hour, Phoebe gets 10 mph closer to Candice.

The initial distance is of 40 miles, 40/10 = 4, hence it will take 4 hours for Phoebe to catch Candice.
