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
