What is gravies average speed?
:
Let s = g's speed
then
(s-4) = r's speed
:
Write a time equation; time = dist/speed
=
cross multiply
265(s-4) = 252s
265s - 1060 = 252s
265s - 252s = 1060
13s = 1060
s =
s = 81.538 km/hr is g's speed
:
;
Check the times, they should be equal: (77.538) = r's speed
265/81.538 = 3.25 hrs
252/77.538 = 3.25 hrs
