Abel leaves for a vacation destination 1000 miles away driving 50 miles per hour.  An hour later Alice leaves from the same point for the same destination, traveling 40 miles per hour. How much earlier does Abel reach the destination in minutes??
How many hours does it take Abel to get to the destination? ** If Abel needs to travel 1000 miles going 50 miles per hour, this means it will take him 1000/50=<<1000/50=20>>20 hours to get there.
How many hours does it take Alice to get to the destination? ** If Alice needs to travel 1000 miles going 40 miles per hour, this means it will take her 1000/40=<<1000/40=25>>25 hours to get there.
How many minutes does it take Abel to arrive? ** Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, this means it will take Abel 20*60= <<20*60=1200>>1200 minutes to arrive.
How many minutes does it take Alice to arrive? ** Similarly, this means it will take Alice 25*60= <<25*60=1500>>1500 minutes to arrive.
How many minutes before Alice does Abel arrive? ** This means Abel arrives 1500-1200= <<1500-1200=300>>300 minutes before Alice if they both leave simultaneously.
How many minutes ahead of Alice does Abel arrive? ** However, since Abel had a head start of 1 hour, which is 60 minutes, this means Abel arrives 300 + 60 = <<300+60=360>>360 minutes ahead of Alice
