Question

Two buses leave towns 1185 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 15km/h faster than the other. If they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of each bus

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the speed of both the buses be x, x+15

Distance traveled by each bus in 5hrs are 5x and (x+15)*5 as distance = speed * time

Therefore

5x+(x+15)*5=1185

5x+5x+75=1185

x=111

Therefore speed of buses are 111 and 126
