Problema Solution
two vergara buses leave walter mart at the same time, one going to baclaran at the rate of 60 kph and the other going to batangas at the rate of 54kph. in how many hours will they be 228 kilometers apart?
Answer provided by our tutors
a poorly-worded question and we have to make assumptions in order to create an answerable question... we assume that the buses are travelling in exactly opposite directions, therefore the relative speed is:
60+54 = 114 kph
228(km)/114(km/hour) = 2.hours
if these assumptions are correct, then the buses will be 228 kms apart in 2 hours
