The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
My geocaching buddy and I decided to go caching on Saturday morning. I was ready to go at 7:00 a.m., but my buddy was still looking for his GPS, checking his batteries, and insisting he remembered where he put his coffee.
I finally got tired of waiting and headed down the road at a respectable 45 mph. About 20 minutes later, my buddy realized I had left without him. He jumped into his car and took off after me at 60 mph. He claimed he was in a hurry to catch up, but I suspect he just wanted to get to the caches before I did.
Assuming we both maintain our speeds and travel in the same direction, answer these two questions:
- How long will it take my buddy to catch up with me after he starts driving? Express your answer in hours, rounded to the nearest tenth.
- How far will we each have traveled from my starting point when he catches up with me? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a mile.
