we know that

speed=distance/time

It takes 40 min for a bus to cover 36 miles

then

speed of the bus=distance/time--------> 36/40-------> 0.9 miles/min

speed of the car=1.4*speed of the bus-----> 1.4*0.9----> 1.26 miles/min

For time=t

bus

t=distance/speed--------> t=x/0.9------> equation 1

car

t=distance/speed--------> t=(36-x)/1.26-----> equation 2

equate equation 1 and equation 2

x/0.9=(36-x)/1.26-----> 1.26x=0.9*(36-x)-----> 1.26x=32.4-0.9x

1.26x+0.9x=32.4------> x=32.4/2.16-------> x=15 miles

equation 1

t=x/0.9------> 15/0.9------> t=16.67 min

the answer is

they will meet at the time 16.67 minutes

Mary​'s car will go 261 miles on 14.5 gallons of gasoline in highway driving.
suter [353]

Answer:

a) 91 1/6 gallons

b) 2502 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a number of miles and a number of gallons for the car. The ratio of these numbers is ...

  (261 mi)/(14.5 gal) = 18 mi/gal

We presume this value is constant for this car. Then the questions can be answered by forming and solving a proportion:

a) 1641 miles/(gallons) = 18 mi/(1 gal)

Multiplying by gallons and dividing by 18 mi/gal, we get

  1641/18 gal = (gallons) = 91 1/6 gal

It will take 91 1/6 gallons of gasoline for Mary to drive to her friend's house.

___

b) Same deal, but the miles are unknown.

  (miles)/(139 gal) = (18 mi)/(1 gal)

Multiplying by 139 gal gives ...

  (18 mi)·139 = (miles) = 2502 mi

139 gallons of gasoline will let Mary drive 2502 miles.
