Recommendation 1: Revise Your Problem(s)

The Mercury Cup (A multi-step word problem)

The Mercury Cup is held every year off the west coast of Spain. 15 boats race for 200 miles in expensive catamarans that are designed to go very fast. Sometimes the boats turn over in the wind and have to be turned upright so that they can continue in the race. Two of the boats in last year’s race were Starfish 1 and El Capitan. They were favored to win. But Starfish 1 had a hard time getting started. It turned over just as the race began. It took 1 hour before it could start the race. El Capitan took off and was traveling 25 mph. Once Starfish 1 got started, it was traveling 30 mph. How long did it take before Starfish 1 caught up with El Capitan?
