Problema Solution
Driving from point A to point b at 33km/h takes 2 hours less than cycling at 11km/h. How far is it from A to B?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
v1 = 33 km/h the driving speed from A to B
t = the of the drive from A to B
v2 = 11 km/h the cycling speed from A to B
t + 2 = the of the cycling from A to B
since speed = distance/time follows distance = speed*time and we have:
v1*t = v2(t + 2)
33t = 11(t + 2)
by solving we find:
t = 1 hr

v1*t = 33*1 = 33 km
the distance between A and B is 33 km.
