Kaden left the restaurant traveling 8 mph. Then, hours later, Angelo left traveling the same direction at 16 mph. How long until Angelo catches up with Kaden?

Question

How many hours

Answer 1

after 1 hour kaden goes 8 miles

after 2 hours kaden goes 16 miles

after 2 hours (but not starting until the 2nd hour) Angelo goes 16 miles, catching up to Kaden

IF Kaden started at noon, Angelo would catch up at 2pm

but if Angelo started y hours after Kaden left then and Kaden went 8mph for x+y hours, he would go 8(x+y) miles while Angelo goes 16x miles

Angelo catches up when 16x = 8x+8y or 8x =8y and x=y

if Kaden has a 10 hour headstart, it takes Angelo 10 hours to catch up

if Kaden has a 2 hour headstart it takes Angelo 2 hours to catch up

If Kaden has x hours headstart, it takes Angelo x hours to catch up

kaden would go
