document.write( "Question 53687: Two families drive from Kingston to Niagara Falls. The Maretti family leaves first and travels at an average speed of 85 km/h. The Khan family leaves Kingston once the Maretti family has travelled 40 km, and travels at an average speed of 95 km/h. Determine how far they have travelled when the families have both gone the same distance. \n" ); document.write( "

hours = x
\n" ); document.write( "distance traveled by Maretti - 85x
\n" ); document.write( "distance traveled by Khan - 95x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "However, we know that the Maretti family has a 40 km lead. So:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"85x+%2B+40+=+95x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40+=+10x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So they'll have traveled the same distance after 4 hours (counting from the moment the Khan family left). That is 95*4=380 km traveled.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
