Question

4. A car travels 120 miles in the same amount of time that it takes a truck to travel 100 miles. The car travels 10 miles per hour faster than the truck. Find the speed of the truck

Answer 1

The speed of the truck is 1,200 miles.

Explanation:

Car = 10 MILES PER HOUT FASTER THAN THE TRUCK.

Truck = X times 10

X = 120 MILES times 10

120 times 10= 1,200, BECAUSE IF YOU TAKE THE "1" FROM "10" IT'LL BE "1" FROM THE 10, TIMES 120 MILES WHICH = 120. NOW TAKE THE "0" FROM THE 10 AND ADD *0* AT THE END OF THE ANSWER YOU GOT WHICH WAS "120." THEN YOUR ANSWER WILL BE 1,200 IF YOU ADD THE "0" AT THE END.
