Total Time
TD/TT
Converging/Divering Scenarios
Distance (of object)1 + Distance (of object)2 = Total Distance
D1 + D2 = TD
“Catching Up” Scenarios
D1 = D2
Work Problems (Formulaic Approach)
WA + WB = TW
Two objects leaving at the same time of day and converging at a constant rate means…
Time traveled by both objects is the same
t1= t2
Miles/Gallon Rate Question breakdown
Rate (miles/gal.) x Gallons = Miles
R x G =M
Catch up & Pass Scenarios
SHORTCUT!
Change in distance = the total distance to be made up by the object/person catching up.
So…(catch up + pass) = Change in distance
Change in rate = (faster rate) - (slower rate)
