That means the number of hours that both vehicles traveled is 32/6 = 16/3. \n" ); document.write( "Then the speed of the bus is (80)/(16/3) = 15 km/hr and the speed of the car is (112)/(16/3) = 21 km/hr. \n" ); document.write( "ANSWERS: \n" ); document.write( "bus 15km/h \n" ); document.write( "car 21km/h \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
