It will take the first car 5.5 hours to catch up to the second car.
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed of second car = 55 miles per hour
As the car has started one hour before; it has already traveled
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 55*1 = 55 miles
Let,
x be the number of hours.
Distance covered in x hours = 55x
S(x) = 55x+55
Speed of first car = 65 miles per hour
Distance covered in x hours = 65x
F(x) = 65x
For catching up;
F(x) = S(x)
Dividing both sides by 10
It will take the first car 5.5 hours to catch up to the second car.
