Time, Rate, and Distance (Same Direction)

Hello everyone, and math students! This is my very first animated math video and I hope it helps out visually. And welcome to my channel.

This uniform motion (problem 1) involves traveling in the same direction, solving for "how long" one moving object traveling until it meets up with the second moving object. This problem is also called "distance rate time problem" or "uniform rate problem."

[Thank you for watching, and please subscribe, it will mean a great support to me and this channel.]

RECAP: This is an algebra problem. It's a "distance" word problem, and solving for "how long." It uses d=rt (distance equals rate times time).

The actual problem from the video:
"Car 1 starts from point A and heads for point B at 60 mph. Fifteen minutes later, car 2 leaves the same point A and heads for point B at 75 mph. How long before car 2 overtakes car 1?"
