Question

Two cars start traveling in the same direction around a circular road that is 80 km long. The speed of one car is 92 km/h and the sped of the other is 68 km/h. b How many minutes after the two cars start traveling will one car lap the other for the second time?

Answer 1

200 minutes

Explanation:

So we know that the speed is 92 km/h for the first car and 68 km/h for the second car. We do not know the time, but we do know that we need to convert it into minutes. The time for both cars would be x/60. Now we multiply speed by time and get distance. The first car would be 92 x/60 and the second would be 68 x/60, now we cross multiply and make an equation. 92x/60 - 68x/60 = 80, 24x = 80, x=200 minutes.
