\n" ); document.write( "Levi bought a brand new car 17 ft. long. On his first travel, the car overtakes a truck 32 ft. long
\n" ); document.write( "which is travelling at the rate of 66 ft./sec. How far must the car travel to pass the truck in 4 seconds?
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "The difference of the speeds should allow Levi to cover 17 ft + 32 ft = 49 ft in 4 seconds.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, the difference of the speed shoud be   = 12.25 ft/s.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the Levi's car should move at the speed of 66 ft/s + 12.25 ft/s = 78.25 ft/s.    ANSWER\r\n" );
