Two trucks are traveling on the same highway. The first truck travels at an average rate of 50 mi/h. The second truck leaves two hours latter and travels at an average rate of 60 mi/h. How long will the trucks have traveled when the second truck catch up with the first truck?

Answers:    A vehicle traveling at 50 mph travels 100 miles in two hours. In three hours it have traveled 150 miles and the second truck has traveled 60. At four hours it have traveled 200 miles, the second 120. At five hours it has traveled 250, the second 180. At six, 300 and 240 and so on. So this could be done by brute force, but let's try to guess smarter, not harder.

A simpler way to solve the problem is to withdraw out the equivalents. We can consider the first vehicle to be stopped and the second to be going 10 miles per hour. Since the first vehicle has 100 miles on the second, it will whip ten hours plus the amount of time the first has be traveling, or twelve hours.
