Question 899423: Two cars raced at a race track. The faster car traveled 20 mph faster than the slower car. In the time that the slower car traveled 165 miles, the faster car traveled 225 miles. If the speeds of the cars remained constant, how fast did the slower car travel during the race? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t = t | Cross Multiplying to solve
165v + 330 = 225v
3300/60 = v = 55 mph, slower car's speed
