How long will it take?

Calculus Level 2

Two boys, Johnny and Tommy, splash water at each other, 1 trying to get even with the other. Then they use the hose, and still can't keep even. Now the 2 boys are chasing each other with squirt guns; Johnny running away from Tommy. If Johnny is going at 5 mph and Tommy is going at 8 mph, How many seconds will it take for Tommy to catch Johnny?

We need to know how far apart the boys are when initiating the chase.

Insufficient info is the answer.

That's insufficient information, because we'd need to know how many seconds there were between when Johnny and Tommy started.
