Levi bought a brand new car 17 ft. long. On his first travel, the car overtakes a truck 32 ft. long
which is travelling at the rate of 66 ft./sec. How far must the car travel to pass the truck in 4 seconds?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The difference of the speeds should allow Levi to cover 17 ft + 32 ft = 49 ft in 4 seconds.
So, the difference of the speed shoud be = 12.25 ft/s.
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
