Question 260051: If car A is traveling at 75 miles per hour for 100 hours and car B is traveling 65 miles per hour for 75 miles which car will arrive at their destination first and how long did each car travel?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If car A is traveling at 75 miles per hour for 100 hours and car B is traveling 65 miles per hour for 75 miles which car will arrive at their destination first and how long did each car travel?
:
Are you sure this is written out correctly? It does not make sense.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! There is no way to know because we don't know their destinations.
We also don't know how fast car b travelled after the 75 miles.
So either the destination is 75 miles or less or car b didn't make it and/or car a over shot the destination since car a travelled for 100 hours and 75 mph.a distance of 7500 miles.
All in all, a very poorly worded question. Did you copy all of it and did you copy it correctly?
If they are heading to the same place from the same place then
75*100=d
d=7500 miles
65*t=75
t=15/13 =1 2/13 =1 hr 9 minutes
car a travelled 7500 miles
and car b travelled 75 miles
If their destinations were 7500 miles away for car a and 75 miles away for car b then car a took 100 hrs which is substantially more than car b which travelled a little more than 1 hour.
