Question 874284: Given: d = rt, where "d" is distance, "r" is rate, and "t" is time.
One car leaves point A and travels due north at 50 mi/hr. Another
car leaves point A 3 hours later and travels due south at 70 mi/hr. When
will the two cars be 1,000 miles apart?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two cars going in opposite directions but leave at different times, three hour difference.
_______________speed_________time_________distance
NORTH__________50_____________t___________
SOUTH__________70____________t-3__________
I am making all numbers into variables, because you asked a very similar question in a very recent help request post, and you may find the solution process very much alike in both questions.
When are the two cars a difference of m miles from eachother?
Southbound car left k hours after the north bound car.
_______________speed_________time_________distance
NORTH__________n_____________t_____________nt
SOUTH__________s____________t-k____________s(t-k)
Distance Apart_____________________________m
Unknown variables are t. Given variables with values assumed to be n, s, k, and m.
