A car travels 280 miles in the same time that motorcycle travels 240 miles.

Question

if the car speed is 10 miles more than the motorcycle's find the speed of the car and the speed of the motorcycl

Answer 1

240/s = 280/(s + 10)

 

240(s + 10) = 280s

240s + 2400 = 280s

40s = 2400

s = 60

 

The car's speed was 60 mph snd the motorcycle's was 70 mph
