Two cyclists start biking from a trail start 3 hours apart. The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour. How much time will pass beforenthe second cyclist catches up with the first from the time the second cyclist started biking?

6 hoursExplanation
The first cyclist has a 3 hour head start--and in those three hours, has traveled 3 X 6 = 18 miles. The question now is: how long will it take for the second cyclist to travel 18 miles more than the first cyclist. The second cyclist will gain 10 - 6 = 4 miles / hour so 18 / 4 = 4.5 hours the second cyclist will catch up in 4.5 hours after starting. with equation goodness: distance = speed X time (where t is time after the second cyclist starts) 18 = 10t - 6t = 4t 18/4 = t = 4.5Related questions
A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat (in still water) and the stream is:Speed of a boat in standing water is 9 kmph and the speed of the stream is 5 kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 105 km and comes back to the starting point. The total time taken by him is:two trains are moving in opposite directions at 60 km/hr and 90 km/hr. Their lengths are 1/10 km and 9 km respectively. The time taken by slower train to cross the faster train in seconds is -A man can row three-quarters of a kilometre against the stream in 11×(1/4) minutes and down the stream in 7×(1/2) minutes. The speed (in km/hr) of the man in still water is:In a 300 m race A beats B by 5 metre or 6 seconds. B's time over the course is -A boatman goes 2 km against the current of the stream in 1 hour and goes 1 km along the current in 10 minutes. How long will it take to go 5 km in stationary water?A boat covers a certain distance downstream in 1 hour, while it comes back in 1x(1/2) hours. If the speed of the stream be 3 kmph, what is the speed of the boat in still water?A man buys tk 20 shares paying 9% dividend. The man wants to have an interest of 12% on his money.
