Question 809337: Kent drives his Mazda 312 miles in the same time that it takes Dave to drive his Nissan 270 miles. If Kent averages 7 miles per hour faster than Dave, find their rates. Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! s = d / t
k = 312/T
d = 270/T
k = d + 7
---
k = d + 7
312/T = 270/T + 7
312 = 270 + 7T
7T = 42
T = 6 hours
---
Answer:
k = 52 mph
d = 45 mph
