Question 280084: 3 cars drive 300 miles on a striaght road in the Arizona desert.
Car A excellerates to 50 miles an hour and keeps this speed constantly.
Car B excellerates to 60 miles an hour and keeps this speed constantly but stops twice for 30 mins.
Car C excellerates to 75 miles an hour and keeps this speed constantly but stops once for 2 hours.
QUESTION ..... What order do the 3 cars finish the 300 mile drive?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! No idea what "excellerates" means. It is not a word. BTW neither is "striaght"
Perhaps you mean "accelerates" and "straight"
We are not told if the cars start at the same time or one hour after the other.
car A
50x=300
x=6 hrs
Car B
60x=300
x=5 hrs +2*30 mins =6 hrs
Car C
75x=300
x=4 hrs+ 2 hr=6 hrs
They all arrive at the same time.
or Car A arrives first because it didn't have to keep accelerating.
