Question 408032: I have a word problem here that I cant figure out the question says
A car and a bus set out at 3 p.m. from the same point headed in the same direction. The average speed of the car is twice the average speed of the bus. in 2 hours the car is 68 miles ahead of the bus. find the rate of the car Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! speed of bus = xmph
speed of car =2x mph
..
since they are travelling in the same direction the resulting
speed will be 2x-x=x mph.
..
speed = distance/time
distance apart = 68 miles
time = 2 hours
speed =x
..
2 = 68/x
multiply by x
2x=68
this is the speed of the car ===> 68 mph
