Question 333490: Two cars depart from the same spot for the same destination. Car A travels 60 mph and Car B travels 65 mph. Car B arrives one hour before Car A. How many miles did each car travel? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Car A travels 60 mph
and Car B travels 65 mph.
Car B arrives one hour before Car A.
..
let distance traveled be x
car A time = x/60
car B time x/ 65
..
x/60- x/65 = 1
65x-60x /(60*65)=1
5x= 60*65
x= 60*65/5
x=780 miles
