A police car leaves in pursuit of a holdup car 0.5 hours after the robber has left the scene of the crime at 86 mi / hr. How fast must the police car go if it is to catch up with the holdup car in one hour? (Hint: first solve for how far the holdup car travels during its drive time. What distance does the police car need to travel?)
