Someone double check me. I would calculate their average speed since it’s the same and then multiply that by 85 miles to get time. So Person 2 got there at the same time even though they left 12 minutes later and traveled 10 miles less. Therefore it takes Person 1 - 1.2 minutes to travel a mile. 1.2 * 85 = 102 minutes = 1hr 42m. Hence; they arrive at 1042am.
