The distance traveled by first car is 50t + 100.

The distance traveled by second car is 70t.

The distance between the two cars after time, t is d = 100 - 20t.

The ratio of the distance traveled by the cars is (70t) / (50t + 100).

<h3>Distance traveled by each vehicle is calculated as follows;</h3>

The distance traveled by each vehicle at the given time is calculated as follows;

<h3>Distance traveled by first car</h3>

D₁ = speed x time

D₁ = 50(t + 2)

D₁ = 50t + 100

<h3>Distance traveled by the second car</h3>

D₂ = 70t

<h3>Distance between the two cars after time, t</h3>

d = D₁ - D₂

d = (50t + 100) - 70t

d = 100 - 20t

<h3>Ratio of the distance traveled by the cars</h3>

D₂/D₁ = (70t) / (50t + 100)
