Archie started driving from City M towards City N at 14 40 at an average speed of 60 km/h. Jenson began driving from City M towards City N at 17 30 at an average speed of 110 km/h.

1. At what time did Jenson pass Archie on the road?
2. 1¹₁₀ hours after passing Archie, Jenson reached City N. At what time did Archie reach City N?

(a)
From 14 40 to 17 30 = 2 h 50 min

Time that Archie travelled before Jenson started driving = 2 h 50 min

1 h = 60 min
2 h 50 min = 2⁵⁰₆₀ h = 2⁵₆ h

Distance that Archie travelled before Jenson started driving
= 2⁵₆ x 60
= ¹⁷₆ x 60
= 170 km

Difference between Jenson's and Archie's speed
= 110 - 60
= 50 km/h

Time that Jenson took to catch up with Archie
= 170 ÷ 50
= 3.4 h
= 3 h 24 min

3 h 24 min after 17 30 = 20 54

Time that Jenson passed Archie on the road = 20 54

(b)
1¹₁₀ h = 1 h 6 min

Total time that Jenson travelled
= 1 h 6 min + 3 h 24 min
= 4 h 30 min

4 h 30 min = 4³⁰₆₀h = 4¹₂h

Distance between City M and City N
= 4¹₂ x 110
= 495 km

Time that Archie travelled from City M to City N
= 495 ÷ 60
= 8.25 h
= 8 h 15 min

8 h 15 min after 14 40 = 22 55

Time that Archie reached City N = 22 55

Answer: (a) 20 54; (b) 22 55
