Question

Plsssssss help no nonsense pls

Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2.4 h, and Car B traveled the distance in 4 h. Car A traveled 22 mph faster than Car B.

How fast did Car A travel?

(The formula R⋅T=D , where R is the rate of speed, T is the time, and D is the distance can be used.)

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Explanation:

x/2.4 = 22 + y/4

Since y = x, then:

x/2.4 = 22 + x/4

x= 132 meters traveled by both cars

Therefore, Car A has a speed of 55 mph.

Answer 2

We let x the distance traveled by Car A and y the distance traveled by car B. The speed of car A can be represented as x/2.4 and for Car B is y/4. From the statement given, we can write an equation relating the speed of both cars.

x/2.4 = 22 + y/4

Since y = x, then:

x/2.4 = 22 + x/4

Solving for x, we obtain:

x= 132 meters traveled by both cars

Therefore, Car A has a speed of 55 mph.
