A car left Ottawa at 1 p.m. going at 35 mph. A second car left the city at 4 p.m. going in the same direction at 50 mph. At what time will the second car catch up with the first?

Please help me asap.

Answer: 11:00 pm

Step-by-step explanation: So basically, all you have to do is find out LCM of 35 and 50 which is 350. Now you divide 350/50 to get 7. Add 7 hours to 4:00 pm to get 11:00 pm.
