Question

After how many hours will two cars be at the same point if one is moving at 60 km/h and the other at 40 km/h, starting from the same point?

a) 3 hours
b) 4 hours
c) 5 hours
d) 6 hours

Answer 1

The two cars are already at the same point when they start moving, so the answer is 0 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the time when two cars will be at the same point, we need to set up an equation based on their respective distances traveled. Let's assume they start from the same point and travel for 't' hours. The distance covered by the first car is given by 60t, and the distance covered by the second car is 40t. So, we have the equation 60t = 40t. Solving for t, we get t = 0. The cars are already at the same point when they start moving. Therefore, the answer is 0 hours.
