A bus leaves Burbank at 9:00 a.m. traveling east at 50 miles per hour. At 1:00 p.m. a plane leaves Burbank traveling east at 300 miles per hour. At what time will the plane overtake the bus?  Select.
A) 12:45 p.m.	B) 1:10 p.m	C) 1:40 p.m	D) 1:48 p.m	E) 1:55 p.m
distance = speed * time   from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm total is 4 hrs   In 4 hrs bus travels a distance of  50 * 4= 
<gadget id="calculator"> 50 * 4</gadget>
<output>200</output>
200 miles   plane starts travelling in same direction so relative speed= 300 - 50= 
<gadget id="calculator">300 - 50</gadget>
<output>250</output>
250 miles/hr   distance the plane needs to cover so as to overtake the bus is 200 miles   time= 200 /250 = 4/5 hrs = 48 minutes   so at 1:48 pm the plane overtakes the bus   Correct answer - 1:48 p.m

A bus leaves Burbank at 9:00 a.m. traveling east at 50 miles per hour. At 1:00 p.m. a plane leaves Burbank traveling east at 300 miles per hour. At what time will the plane overtake the bus?
