Help with a Maths Question
Hello All,
I came across this question on the internet whilst revising maths for COMPASS. I'd very much appreciate it if anyone could please enlighten me with the most direct approach to answering the it:
Two cyclists start biking from a trail's start 3 hours apart. The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is travelling at 6 miles per hour. How much time will pass before the second cyclist catches up with the first from the time the second cyclist started biking?
A. 2 hours
B. 4 ½ hours
C. 5 ¾ hours
D. 6 hours
E. 7 ½ hours
Thank you!
