The whole story begins at 9:00 AM, so let's make up a quantity called ' T ',
and that'll be the number of hours after 9:00 AM.  When we find out what ' T ' is,
we'll just count off that many hours after 9:00 AM and we'll have the answer.

-- The first car started out at 9:00 AM, and drove until the other one caught up
with him.  So the first car drove for ' T ' hours.

The first car drove at 55 mph, so he covered ' 55T ' miles.

-- The second car started out 1 hour later, so he only drove for (T - 1) hours.

The second car drove at 75 mph, so he covered ' 75(T - 1) ' miles.

But they both left from the same shop, and they both met at the same place.
So they both traveled the same distance.

(Miles of Car-#1) = (miles of Car-#2)

55 T = 75 (T - 1)

Eliminate the parentheses on the right side"

55 T = 75 T - 75

Add 75 to each side:

55 T + 75 = 75 T

Subtract 55 T from each side:

75 = 20 T

Divide each side by 20 :

75/20 = T

3.75 = T

There you have it.  They met 3.75 hours after 9:00 AM.

9:00 AM + 3.75 hours = <u>12:45 PM</u> . . . just in time to stop for lunch together.

Also by the way ...
when the 2nd car caught up, they were 206.25 miles from the shop.

The first three cards dealt from a
mart [117]
There are four aces, 12 face cards and 4 7s in a standard 52 card deck. The probability of getting an ace on the first draw is 4/52 or 1/13. For the second draw there are now 51 cards in the deck (assuming the draws are without replacement), so the probability of getting a face card is 12/51. Given an ace and a face card on the first two draws, the probability of a 7 on the third draw is 4/50 or 2/25. The probability of getting all three is 1/13*12/51*2/25.
