City K and City L is 264 km apart. Sean left City K for City L at 10.00 a.m. travelling at an average speed of 66 km/h. Wesley left City K later than Sean and caught up with him at 12.00 p.m. Wesley was travelling at a speed of 99 km/h.
- At what time did Wesley leave City K?
- How much later did Sean arrive in City L than Wesley? Express your answer in h as a fraction or mixed number.
(a)
From 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 p.m. = 2 h
Distance that Sean covered when Wesley caught up with Sean
= 2 x 66
= 132 km
Time that Wesley took to travel 132 km
= 132 ÷ 99
= 1
13 h
1 h = 60 min
13 h =
13 x 60 = 20 min
1
13 h = 1 h 20 min
Time that Wesley left City K:
1 h 20 min before 12.00 p.m. = 10.40 a.m.
(b)
Remaining distance that they had to cover to reach City L
= 264 - 132
= 132 km
Duration that Wesley had to travel before reaching City L
= 132 ÷ 99
= 1
13 h
Duration that Sean had to travel before reaching City L
= 132 ÷ 66
= 2 h
Duration that Sean took to arrive later than Wesley in City L
= 2 - 1
13=
23 h
Answer(s): (a) 10.40 a.m.; (b)
23 h
