This is a very good question to know about. People who make tests really like it.

The way to solve it is to make the slower car stop and use the difference in speed = to the rate. then do it as an ordinary d = r*t problem.

The difference in speeds  is 44 - 36 = 8 miles/ hour.
d = 260 miles
r = 8 mph
t = ???

t = d/r
t = 260/8
t = 32.5 hours.

Thats 32 1/2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:M+F=39

M+F=39

F=M-9

Substitute

M + M - 9 = 39

2M = 48

M=48/2

M=24

24+F=39

F=39-24=15

F=15, M=24

Answer:

  10

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the distance formula, the distance is ...

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

  d = √((-2-4)^2 +(-4-4)^2) = √((-6)^2 +(-8)^2) = √(36 +64)

  d = √100 = 10

The distance between the two points is 10 units.
