Answer:
9:40 am
Step-by-step explanation:
Let time taken from when Smith left compound to when Garcia overtakes Smith's car be represented by y
After y hours, Smith has covered 48*y=48y miles
Similarly, due to a difference of 20 minutes which is 20/60=1/3 hours, Garcia moves a distance of
60(y-1/3)
Equating both distances to be the same
60y-20=48y
12y=20
y=20/12=5/3 hours
Converted to minutes
5/3*60=100 minutes= 1 hr 40 mins
Therefore, adding 100 minutes to to starting time of Smith
8:00+1:40=9:40 am
The time that Garcia overtakes Smith is 9:40am
