3. A truck leaves a depot at 11 AM and travels at a speed of 45 mph. At noon, a van leaves the same place and travels the same route at a speed of 65 mph. At what time does the van
overtake the truck?​

The van overtakes the truck at 2:15 PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

A truck leaves a depot at 11 AM and travels at a speed of 45 mph.

The van leaves 1 hour later, so when the van leaves, the truck will be at position 45 miles. The equation for the truck's position is given by:

At noon, a van leaves the same place and travels the same route at a speed of 65 mph.

At noon, the van is at the position of 0 miles, and travels at a speed of 65 miles per hour. So, the equation for the vans' position is:

At what time does the van overtake the truck?​

t hours after noon, in which t is found when:

So

0.25 of an hour = 1/4 = 15 minutes.

Thus, the van overtakes the truck at 2:15 PM.

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
