Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When the second bus catches up to the first bus, this means that the distance they have travelled is equal.

So for bus 1, you know it travels at 40 miles per hour.

4pm = 0 miles

5pm = 40 miles

6 pm = 80 miles

7pm = 120 miles

For bus 2, you know it travels at 60 miles per hour

5pm = 0 miles

6pm = 60 miles

7pm = 120 miles.

So you can see that at 7pm, they will both have travelled 120 miles.
