I think it is correct, but I don’t know what to do next.
We know that the first cyclist has traveled 24.2 km at a speed of 10 km/h. Lets use the equation 
to find the time of the first cyclist:
So, we know that she has traveled for 2.42 hours.
We also know that after she has traveled for 2.42 hours another<span> cyclist sets out in the same direction, so if </span>
represents the time of our first cyclist, <span>the time of our second cyclist will be </span>
.
Now we are going to use the equation
to relate the speeds and times of the two cyclist:
For the first one:
equation (1)
For the second one:
equation (2)
Replace (1) in (2)
The only thing left now is solve for:
We can conclude that the second cyclist will catch up the first cyclist after 3.63 hours.
