Let z be the number of hours, from 11:00 am, when Jimmy would catch up with John. The time that Jimmy will have to drive to catch up with John is z - 1/4 as he started a quarter of an hour late. When Jimmy would catch up with John, they would have traveled the same distance. Hence

50 z = 65 (z - 1/4)

Solve for t

50z = 65z - 65/4

z = 65/60 = 1.083 hours = 1 hour and 5 minutes

Jim will catch up with John at

11:00 am + 1 hour 5 minutes = 12:05 pm

Answer:

They sold 576 chocolate shakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of chocolate to vanilla being 6:9.

This means for each 6 + 9 = 15 shakes sold, 6 were of chocolate and 9 were of vanilla.

How many chocolate shakes did they sell?

Using proportions

6 chocolate - 15 shakes

x chocolate - 1440 shakes

$15x = 1440*6$

$x = \frac{1440*6}{15}$

$x = 576$

They sold 576 chocolate shakes.
