Question 981347: What is the destination time difference between two cars traveling for a distance of one hundred miles when one car's speed is 70 mph and the other car's speed is 60 mph? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Car A at 70mph:
100 mi/(70 mi/hr)=1.43 hours
.
Car B at 60 mph:
100 mi/(60 mi.hr)=1.67 hours
.
1.67 hours-1.43 hours=0.24 hours
(0.24 hours)(60 min/hr)=14.2 minutes
.
Car A (70 mph) arrives 14.2 minutes ahead of Car B (60 mph)
