Car A and car B set off from the same point, at the same time, to travel the same journey.
Car A travels at 48 mph and car B travels at 38 mph.
If car A stops after 35 miles, how many minutes will it take car B to catch up?
Am I missing something with this one. I have filled a page with calculations and ended up with an answer with a lot of figures after the decimal point. I have a feeling there must be an easy way to work this out. Can anyone help?
