okay the problem is: A man left his home at 1:30 pm driving along Rindt Road at 48 mph. An hour later his son left home along the same route @ 72 mph. At what time of day will they catch up w/ eachother? ~I need to know how to solve it not the answer but if u need to give the answer thats okay, hurry though!
Why? Use the quadratic forumla plus e=mc2 and you should get half the answer. Divide those answers into two. Using a common denominator. Then You'll get two different tmes. Add them together and you'll get the answer. [ shake's advice column | Ask shake A Question ]
charmed3fanatic answered Tuesday May 24 2005, 5:32 pm: make a chart... write the time(on one side) and how many miles they went on another side.. make 2 charts.. then write each hour on a diffent line.. and write 48 miles on one chart and then 72 miles on the other... every hour you need to add rather 48 or 72 miles for example lets say 48.. on one line across from 1:30 so in the 2:30 line it should be 96 miles then keep on adding 48 to the amount .. after you finish one of the times and the miles will be the same and that will be your answer... hope i helped anymore math prob. or any other just let me know (i was a math tutor) [ charmed3fanatic's advice column | Ask charmed3fanatic A Question ]
