Best Answer

Assuming you want to know how long before the second catches up with the first:

After 3 hours the first cyclist has travelled 3 x 6 = 18 miles

Second cyclist is travelling at 10mph, so in every hour he does 10-6 = 4 miles more. So to catch up the 18 miles between the two will take 18 / 4 = 4.5 hours = 4 hrs 30 mins

Two cyclists start biking from a trail's 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 before the second cyclist catches up with the first from the time the second cyclist started biking? A. 2 hoursB. 4 ½ hoursC. 5 ¾ hoursD. 6 hoursE. 7 ½ hours AnswerThe distance the 1st cyclist travels is 6(3+t) miles, andthe distance the 2nd cyclist travles is 10t miles...where t=the number of hours since cyclist #2 starts.Now solve: 6(3+t)=10t ==> 18+6t=10t ==> 18=4t ==> t=4.5 hrs==> 4.5 hours = 4 hrs 30 minutes
