Two Cars, A and B, (starting, at the same time, from the same point) are moving
with average speeds of 40 km/h and 50 km/h, respectively, in the same direction.
Find how far will Car B be from Car A after 3 hours.
Answer:
car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.
Explanation:
We'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by each car. This is illustrated below:
For car A:
Speed = 40 km/h
Time = 3 hours
Distance =?
Speed = distance / time
40 = distance / 3
Cross multiply
Distance = 40 × 3
Distance = 120 Km
For car B:
Speed = 50 km/h
Time = 3 hours
Distance =?
Speed = distance / time
50 = distance / 3
Cross multiply
Distance = 50 × 3
Distance = 150 Km
Finally, we shall determine the distance between car B an car A. This can be obtained as follow:
Distance travelled by car B (D₆) = 150 Km
Distance travelled by car A (Dₐ) = 120 Km
Distance apart =?
Distance apart = D₆ – Dₐ
Distance apart = 150 – 120
Distance apart = 30 Km
Therefore, car B will be 30 Km ahead of car A.
