Nick started driving from Village F towards Village G at 14 30 at an average speed of 60 km/h. Flynn began driving from Village F towards Village G at 17 20 at an average speed of 110 km/h.

1. At what time did Flynn pass Nick on the road?
2. 1¹₁₀ hours after passing Nick, Flynn reached Village G. At what time did Nick reach Village G?

(a)
From 14 30 to 17 20 = 2 h 50 min

Time that Nick travelled before Flynn started driving = 2 h 50 min

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

Distance that Nick travelled before Flynn started driving
= 2⁵₆ x 60
= ¹⁷₆ x 60
= 170 km

Difference between Flynn's and Nick's speed
= 110 - 60
= 50 km/h

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

3 h 24 min after 17 20 = 20 44

Time that Flynn passed Nick on the road = 20 44

(b)
1¹₁₀ h = 1 h 6 min

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

4 h 30 min = 4³⁰₆₀h = 4¹₂h

Distance between Village F and Village G
= 4¹₂ x 110
= 495 km

Time that Nick travelled from Village F to Village G
= 495 ÷ 60
= 8.25 h
= 8 h 15 min

8 h 15 min after 14 30 = 22 45

Time that Nick reached Village G = 22 45

Answer: (a) 20 44; (b) 22 45
