Distance d = speed x time

With one hour head start the slower car traveled d= 55x1 = 55 miles

The faster car catches up when they have traveled same distance

d = 65t = 55t + 55

10t = 55

t = 5.5 hours

What does catch twenty nine mean?

Perhaps you mean catch-22. This is a phrase derived from a novel of that name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22


Train A is traveling at 40 mph and train B is traveling at 50 mph Train a passes a station at 215 am and train b passes the same station at 245 am what time will train b catch up to train a?

You don't have quite enough information to solve this question. You need to know; 1) are the trains going in opposite directions? If not, then they may never meet 2) did the trains leave from the same station? 3) did the trains leave at the same time? 4) did the trains leave travelling at their stated speeds? Love to help, but, as stated, can't


If Kim can catch 8 fish in an hour and Chris can catch 4 fish in two hours How long will Chris have to fish in order to catch the same number of fish that Kim would catch in two hours?

He would have to fish 4 hours long because if kim would catch 16 fish in 2 hours. 4 time 4 is 16 as well so therefore he would have to fish for hours


If a motorcycle traveling at seventy mile per hour overtakes a car traveling at forty miles per hour that had a three hour head start how far from starting point are the two vehicles?

There are several ways of answering this question:In all cases, the car, with a three hour head start is 3*40 = 120 miles in front.Method I:The motorcycle is travelling at a relative speed of 70-40 = 30 mph. At this speed it has to make up the distance of 120 miles. This will take 120/30 = 4 hours.At a speed of 70 mph, the motorcycle will have travelled 4*70 = 280 miles.Method II:At time t hours from when the motorcycle starts, the car is at 120 + 40*t miles.At that time the motorcycle is at 70*t miles.These two must be equal so 120 + 40*t = 70*tso 120 = 30*t so that t = 4.Then, as before, the motorcycle is 4*70 = 280 miles from its start.Method III: ;DInvoke Zeno's paradox.When the motorcycle starts, the car is at a point 120 miles ahead. It takes the motorcycle some time to get to that point. During that time the car has moved on a further distance. It then takes the motorcycle some more time to get to that point. But by then the car has moved on by yet another small distance. And so on. How can the motorcycle hope to catch up if, by the time it gets to where the car WAS, the car has moved forward some more?

How many hours will a car traveling at 45 miles per hour take to catch up with a car traveling at 30 miles per hour if the slower car starts one hour before the faster car?

After 1 hour the slower car will be 30 mph x 1 hour = 30 miles ahead of the faster car. The faster car is travelling 45 mph - 30 mph = 15 mph faster than the slower car and so will cover this 30 miles in 30 miles ÷ 15 mph = 2 hours at which point it will have caught the slower car and start to over take it.
