Question

two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 15 km/h faster than the other. If the two buses are 1004 kilometers apart after 4 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

Answer 1

The speed of slower bus is 118 km/hr and speed of faster bus is 133 km/hr

What is speed?

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving".

Given that, two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions, one bus travels 15 km/h faster than the other, the two buses are 1004 kilometres apart after 4 hours,

Speed = distance/ time

Let the speed of the slower bus be v and the faster bus be (v+15)

According to the question,

vt + (v+15)t = 1004

vt + vt + 15t = 1004

t = 4

4v + 4v + 60 = 1004

8v = 944

v = 118

Hence, The speed of slower bus is 118 km/hr and speed of faster bus is 133 km/hr
