Question

During a certain period of time, a car can cover the distance of 120 miles, going at an average speed of 55 mph. What distance over the same period of time would cover a truck, going at an average speed of 44 mph

Answer 1

To solve this we'll use the relationship
`distance=rate*time`. First, we need to find the time in the first scenario:

`120=55t`

`t=(24)/(11)`

Then substitute this time into the second scenario:

`d=(24)/(11)*44=24*4=96`
