Question

If a truck A goes 0.92 miles in 30 minutes and truck B goes 4.3 miles in 4 minutes what is the difference in speed

Answer 1

Given:

Distance travelled by truck A=0.92 miles

Time taken by A =30 minute

Speed of Truck A= Distance/time

 = 0.92/30

 =0.03066mile/min

Distance covered by truck B=4.3 miles

time taken by truck B= 4 minutes

Speed of truck B= Distance/time

 =4.3/4

  =1.075miles/min.

Difference between their speed=

speed of truckB - Speed of truckA

=1.075-0.0366

=1.0384 miles/min.
