In one hour the car to be caught travels 55 miles, while the car that does the catching travels 65 miles in each hour of driving.

With a one hour lead, the faster car has to overcome a deficit distance = 55 miles

and

in each hour of driving the faster car catches up (65-55) =10 miles so

it takes 55/10 = 5.5 hours for the faster car to make up the original 55 mile deficit.

Basically, the car is already at 55 miles after one hour. Causing the other car to be at 0 miles. Then, after another hour, the Car 1 is at 110 miles and Car is at 65 miles. Hour 3 is when Car 1 is at 175 miles and Car 2 is at 130. H4 = C1 at 230, C2 at 195...etc....

55x + 60 = 65x

Basically how it is.

It's 55 miles ahead, and you do 65. Rate of catchup = 10 miles every hour.

It will take you 5.5 hrs. to catch up.

I dunno. Why don't ya run after one to find out.
