There are 2 ways that the distance between Jack and Katie equals 10 miles:
1) Jack is behind Katie by 10 miles60h+10=12.5+50h10h=2.5h=2.510=14Multiply by 60 to get 15 minutes.
2) Katie is behind Jack by 10 miles (since Jack's speed is faster, he will eventually surpass her)60h=12.5+10+50h10h=22.5h=2.25Multiply by 60 to get 135 minutes.
