Question

alexis is driving at 50 mph, brayden leaves 2 hours after alexis and he drives at 70 mph how long does it take brayden to catch up to alexis

Answer 1

assuming they're going in the same direction on same road, Alexis covers 100 miles in 2 hours. That distance has to be made up by Brayden, who drives at 20 mph faster than Alexis, so it would TAKE 5 HOURS to overcome that headstart.
