We can represent the time the first bus spends traveling as h. So, the equation we would use to find this time is:
h = 40/60 + (d / 45)
Where 40/60 represents the 40 minutes converted to hours (since the speed is given in mph), and d represents the distance the first bus travels.
A bus leaves Denver 40 minutes before a second bus.
The first bus travels at 45 mph, and the second bus travels 63 mph.
How long does it take the 2nd bus to catch up to the first bus?
a) Let h= the time the first bus spends traveling. Write the equation you would use to find this time.
