Both car A and car B leave school at the same time, traveling in the same direction.
Car A travels at a constant speed of 77 km/h, while car B travels at a constant speed of 87 km/h.
How far is Car A from school 3.2 h later? Answer in units of km.
:
Write a distance equation; dist = speed * time
;
Car A dist = 3.2(77) = 246.4 km from the school
:
I don't see what Car B has to do with this problem!
