truck x is 13 miles ahead of truck y , which is traveling the same direction along the same route as truck x . if truck x is traveling at an average speed of 47 miles per hour and truck y is traveling at an average speed of 53 miles per hour , how long will it take truck y to overtake and drive 5 miles ahead of truck x ?
relative speed = 53 - 47 = 6 miles per hour dist required = 13 + 5 = 18 miles time taken to overtake = 18 / 6 = 3 hours . e is the answer .
