Question

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?

Answer 1

2.4(b + 22) = 4b

2.4b + 52.8 = 4b

1.6b = 52.8

b = 33

 

33 + 22 = 55 mph
