Problema Solution

Two cars leave a rest stop at the same time and proceed to travel down the highway in the same direction. One travels at an average of 49mph, and the other at an average of 66mph. How far apart are the two cars after 6 hours?

Answer provided by our tutors

the distance passed of the car traveling with an average of 49 mph after 6 hours is 49*6 = 294 miles


the distance passed of the car traveling with an average of 66 mph after 6 hours is 66*6 = 396 miles


the difference between the distances is 396 - 294 = 102 mi


after 6 hours the two cars will be 102 miles apart.
