Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 40 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 60 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 8:20pm. If train B passes at the same station at 8:35 p.m at what time will train B catch

Question

up to train A.

Answer 1

when B gets to station, A is this far ahead:

distance: 1/4 hr*40mph= 10 miles.

So, to make up that 10 miles, B is traveling at a relative velocity of 20 mph (60-40)
time= distance/velocity= 10/20 hr

Answer 2

so, add that time, 30 min, to 8:35
