<PRE><B>Question 1037617</B>
two cars leave the same place at the same time and going to the same place
one is traveling at 43 km per hour
the other at 52 km per hour
how far apart will they be after 40 minutes
-----
40 min = 2/3 hour
-------------------------
distance = rate*time
slower car distance:: 43(2/3) km
faster car distance:: 52(2/3)km
----
Distance apart = (52-43)(2/3) = 9(2/3) = 6 km
-------------
