Solution

Step 1: Determine how far John has traveled when Mark starts his journey.

John travels at 60 mph for 2 hours, so he covers a distance of 60 mph * 2 hours = 120 miles.

Step 2: Determine how long it takes Mark to cover the same distance.

Mark travels at a speed of 75 mph. To find out how long it takes him to travel 120 miles, divide the total distance by his speed: 120 miles / 75 mph = 1.6 hours.

So, Mark takes 1.6 hours to reach town B after he starts his journey.
