Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 4 h, and Car B traveled the distance in 4.5 h. Car B traveled 5 mph slower than Car A.

Answer 1

B +A - 5

d/4 = A distance over time = speed

d/4.5 = B

d= 4A = 4.5B = 4.5(A - 5) = 4.5A -22.5

.5A = 22.5

A = 45 mph

B = 40 mph

distance = 4A = 4(45) = 180 miles
