Randy left town on his bicycle, traveling
at an average of 16 miles per hour. Four
hours later, his older brother, Jimmy, went
looking for Randy on his motorcycle. Jimmy
traveled at an average of 48 miles per hour.
How long would it take Jimmy to catch up
to Randy?

Answer:

1 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

18x(t+3)=54t

18t+54=54t

54=54t-18t

36t=54

t=54/36=3/2

3/2=1 1/2
