"Two bus companies started service between Lake Geneva and Chicago. The buses take the same highway route and travel at constant speed. Speedy Coach buses leave every 10 minutes and take 90 minutes to reach Chicago. Leisure Tour buses leave every 5 minutes and take 60 minutes to reach Chicago. Leisure Tour's driver Travis, leaves from Lake Geneva 5 minutes after the previous Speedy Coach bus has departed.
How many Speedy Coach buses will driver Travis have passed as he arrives in Chicago?"
I'm stuck on how to solve this. What is a fast and intuitive way to solve this? What type of word problem would this be called? I always get stuck on problems like this that have moving things, and timing/synchronizing. I don't know what to do.
