Taxi Distance and Speed Problems

The video tutorial explains a problem involving two taxis, A and B. Taxi A travels at 60 miles per hour and is initially 30 miles ahead of Taxi B. The task is to determine how fast Taxi B must travel to catch up with Taxi A in 2 hours. The solution involves calculating the distance Taxi A covers in 2 hours, which is 120 miles, and adding the initial 30-mile lead, resulting in a total of 150 miles. Therefore, Taxi B must travel 150 miles in 2 hours to catch up.
