Explanation:
Distance covered by the particle is given by:
Distance (d) = rate (v) × time (t)
Speed of Mary, v₁ = 50 mph
Speed of Jim, v₂ = 60 mph
It is assumed that, Mary and Jim leave at the same time. After one hour, Jim is 10 miles ahead.
Distance travelled by Jim, d₁ = (60t + 10)
Distance travelled by Mary, d₂ = 50t
The distance between Mary and Jim is greater than or equal to 100 miles.
So, Jim takes is 9 hours more than Mary to cover same distance. Hence, this is the required solution.

Continuous. Discrete values are values like 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. - they're values that are <em>distinct</em>, and typically there's some idea of a <em>next </em>and a <em>previous </em>value. When we're counting whole numbers, there's a definitive answer to which number comes after, and which number comes before. With continuous values, there's no real "next" or "last" value.
Motion is measured with <em>continuous </em>values; a train might move 300 yards in 1 minute, but we can look at smaller and smaller chunks of time to keep getting shorter and shorter distances. There is no <em />"next" distance the train moves after those 300 yards - it just doesn't make sense for there to be.
It's also measured <em>quantitatively</em>, not <em>qualitatively</em>. This just means that we can use numerical values to measure it, rather than other descriptors like color, smell, or taste.
