A truck enters a highway driving 60 mph. A car enters the highway at the same place 5 minutes later and drives 73mph in the same direction. From the time the car enters the highway, how long will it take the car to pass the truck?

Car takes 23.076 minute to pass the truck

Solution:

A truck enters a highway driving 60 mph

A car enters the highway at the same place 5 minutes later and drives 73mph in the same direction

Let us consider,

Truck speed = 60 mph  ( given )

Time for the truck = T hour

The distance is given as:

Therefore,

Let us consider

Car speed = 73 mph ( given )

car time = T - 5minutes

We know that,

1 hour = 60 minutes

Therefore,

Distance of car:

The two distances are equal:

How long will it take the car to pass the truck?

Thus car takes 23.076 minute to pass the truck

answer: 12,000
