Question 1022853: Two cars Start at the same time, but travel in opposite directions. One car is average speed is 70 mph at the end of four hours the two cars are 400 miles apart. Find the average speed in mph of the other car. Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
If the average speed of one car
is 70 mph. Then in 4 hours it will
have traveled 280 miles.
400 - 280 = 120
120/4 = 30 mph
This is the speed of the other car.
Hope this helps :-)
