Car A travels 20 mph faster than Car B. In the same time that Car A travels 252 miles, Car B travels 196 miles. Find their speed

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

A = 70

B = 90

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Car A travels 20 mph faster than Car B.

Assuming the speed of Car B to be x and the speed of Car A to be x+20, we can write:

$\frac{196}{x} =\frac{252}{x+20}$

Taking the reciprocal of both sides to make x the subject:

$196(x+20)=252x$

$196x+3920=252x$

$252x-196x=3920$

$56x=3920$

$x=70$ ---> speed of Car A

Finding the speed of Car B: $x+20 = 70+20=90$

Therefore, the speed of Car A = 70 and the speed of Car B = 90.
