Question 717819: A passenger bus starts out and travels at 65 kph. three hours later a car starts out from the same place and overtakes the bus in 8 hours and 14 minutes. What is the rate of the car? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D=RT
D=R(8.233) FOR THE CAR.
D=65(8.233+3) FOR THE BUS.
65(11.233)=8.233R
696.446=8.233R
R=696.446/8.233
R=84.59 KPH FOR THE CAR'S SPEED.
