Glen started driving from Village F towards Village G at 15 30 at an average speed of 60 km/h. Daniel began driving from Village F towards Village G at 17 20 at an average speed of 110 km/h.
- At what time did Daniel pass Glen on the road?
- 1110 hours after passing Glen, Daniel reached Village G. At what time did Glen reach Village G?
(a)
From 15 30 to 17 20 = 1 h 50 min
Time that Glen travelled before Daniel started driving = 1 h 50 min
1 h = 60 min
1 h 50 min = 1
5060 h = 1
56 h
Distance that Glen travelled before Daniel started driving
= 1
56 x 60
=
116 x 60
= 110 km
Difference between Daniel's and Glen's speed
= 110 - 60
= 50 km/h
Time that Daniel took to catch up with Glen
= 110 ÷ 50
= 2.2 h
= 2 h 12 min
2 h 12 min after 17 20 = 19 32
Time that Daniel passed Glen on the road = 19 32
(b)
1
110 h = 1 h 6 min
Total time that Daniel travelled
= 1 h 6 min + 2 h 12 min
= 3 h 18 min
3 h 18 min = 3
1860h = 3
310h
Distance between Village F and Village G
= 3
310 x 110
= 363 km
Time that Glen travelled from Village F to Village G
= 363 ÷ 60
= 6.05 h
= 6 h 3 min
6 h 3 min after 15 30 = 21 33
Time that Glen reached Village G = 21 33
Answer: (a) 19 32; (b) 21 33
