Problema Solution

Red car travels 10 mph faster than blue car, and red car travels 75 miles farther than the blue car that goes 113 miles. What is the rate of the red car if they travel for same amt of time?

My notes:

Red = b + 10

Blue = b

Distance

Red = 113 + 75

Blue = 113

Time

Same

Answer provided by our tutors

Red car: x+10

Blue car: x

(113+75)/113 = (x+10)/x

So

x = 15.07

So the rate of the red car is 25.07 mph
