Hi,

two cars leave a ciy u and head in the same direction. 

after 6 hours the faster car is 66 miles ahead of the slower car. (traveled %28360mi%29

the slower car has traveled 294 miles. find the speeds of the two cars

Note D = rt  or r = D/t

Slower car:  r = %28294mi%29%2F%286hr%29 = 49mph

Faster car:  r = %28360mi%29%2F%286hr%29 = 60mph
