The distance covered by the spy in t hours will be 60t while the special agent's distance is 90t.
The distance covered by the spy in t hours will be calculated thus:
= 60 × t
= 60t
The distance covered by the special agent in t hours will be:
= 90 × t
= 90t
The difference in the distance between them every hour will be:
= 90t - 60t
= 30t
The distance between the spy and special agent when the chase begins will be:
= (2 × 60mph) - 0
= 120m - 0
= 120m
The time taken to catch the spy will be:
120 + 60t = 90t
90t - 60t = 120
30t = 120
t = 120/30 = 4
The special agent will catch the spy in 4 hours.
