2 cars raced at a track. the faster car traveled 20mph faster than the slower car. in the time that the slower car traveled 165

miles, the faster car traveled 225 miles. if the speeds of the cars remained constant, how fast did the slower car travel during the race.

Answer:

The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The speed of slower car = s_2 = s  mph

The speed of faster car = s_1 = ( s + 20 ) mph

The distance cover by slower car = d_2 = 165 miles

The distance cover by faster car = d_1 = 225 miles

The time taken by both cars for travelling = t hours

The speed of the cars remains constant

Now, <u>According to question</u>

∵ Time = \dfrac{\textrm Distance}{\textrm Speed}

So,<u> For slower car</u>

t = \dfrac{d_2}{s_2}

Or, t = \dfrac{165}{s}           ............1

So, For faster car

t = \dfrac{d_1}{s_1}

Or, t = \dfrac{225}{s+20}           ............2

Now, equating both the equations

I.e  \dfrac{225}{s+20} = \dfrac{165}{s}  

<u>By cross multiplying</u>

Or, 225 × s = 165 × (s + 20)

Or, 225 s = 165 s + 3300

Or, 225 s - 165 s = 3300

Or, 60 s = 3300

∴  s = \dfrac{3300}{60}

I.e s = 55 miles per hour

So , The speed of slower car = s_2 = s = 55 miles per hour

Hence , The speed of slower car is 55 miles per hour.  Answer

Circle any equivalent ratios from the list below.
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Equivalent ratios: we can that the first ratio is equivalent to the second,  then third ratio is equivalent to the forth.  

Ratio: 1: 2 Value of the Ratio:  1/2

Ratio: 5: 10 Value of the Ratio:  1/2

Ratio: 6: 16 Value of the Ratio:  3/8

Ratio: 12: 32 Value of the Ratio: 3/8

We notice that if the values are equivalent the ratios are equivalent

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent ratios:

To get if ratios are equivalent we look for the constant between ratios

a.Ratio: 1: 2  and Ratio: 5: 10  

We apply the method of comparing the first term of both ratios ,  and the second term of both ratios.  We see the constant is 5 ( 1/5 is equal to 2/10)

We do the same with third and forth ratio

Ratio: 6: 16 compare to Ratio: 12: 32

6/12 is equal to 16/32 the constant is 2

<u>So,  we can that the first ratio is equivalent to the second,  then, third ratio is equivalent to the forth.  </u>

Value of the Ratio:  The value is a ratio written as a fraction.

Ratio: 1: 2 Value of the Ratio:  1/2

Ratio: 5: 10 Value of the Ratio:  5/10 if we divide both sides by 5,  we can say  Value of the Ratio:  1/2

Ratio: 6: 16 Value of the Ratio:  6/16 if we divide both sides by 2,  we can say the value is 3/ 8

Ratio: 12: 32 Value of the Ratio: 12/32 if we divide both sides by 4,  we can say the value is 3/ 8

<u>If the values are equivalent the ratios are equivalent.</u>
