Question 919073: Beverly can drive 600 miles in the same time as it takes suzan to drive 500 miles. if Beverly drives 10 miles per hour faster than suzan, then how fast does Beverly drive? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t = D/r
times the same
Bev = Susan's time
600r = 500r + 5000
100r = 5000
r = 50mph, Sue's speed. Bev's is 60mph
And...checking
600/60 = 500/50 = 10hr
