Andre and Morgan are both headed to Florida for vacation. Andre will drive 70 miles per hour. Morgan will drive 55 miles per hour but will leave 3 hours earlier than Andre. How many hours will Morgan have been driving before Andre catches up with her?

The number of hours Moran wold have driven before Andre catches up with him is 14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The speed with which Andre will drive = 70 miles per hour

The speed with which Morgan will drive = 55 miles per hour

The time of departure of Morgan = 3 hours before Andre departs

Let the time at which Andre catches up with Morgan be, t

We have, from the definition of distance traveled;

Distance traveled =Speed × Time

The distance Morgan would have driven in t hours = 55 × t

Given that to catch up with Morgan, Andre has to travel the same distance, and that Andre starts 3 hours late, we have;

The distance Andre would  drive when Morgan has driven for t hours = 70 × (t - 3)

Therefore, since the distance at the point they meet is the same distance for them both, we have;

55 × t = 70 × (t - 3)

55 × t = 70 × t - 210

210 = 70 × t - 55 × t  = 15 × t

t = 210/15 = 14 hours

Therefore, Morgan would have driven for 14 hours before Andre catches uo with him.
