Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time

one car is going at 55kph, at say hmmm "t" time
the second car zooms by at 75kph, an hour later, thus " t + 1 "

notice, overtaking the 1st car, simply means, the second car comes from behind approaches the first car from behind and "gets there", at that very second, both cars have travelled a distance, say "d"

if the first car travelled "d" kilometers
for the second car to "get there" has to had travelled "d" distance as well

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&distance&rate&time\\
&-----&-----&-----\\
\textit{first car}&d&55&t\\
\textit{second car}&d&75&t+1
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
d=55t\\
d=75(t+1)\\
-------\\
55t=75(t+1)
\end{cases}

solve for "t"

Let t equal time. Then:
55t+55=75t
20t=55
t=55/20=2.75 hours before the second car catches the first. ☺☺☺☺

Solar Impulse 2 is covered in 269.5 square meters of solar cells. Each cell is 150 square centimeters. How many solar cells are
Alik [6]
Area covered by the solar cells = 269.5 m^2

Area of one cell = 150 cm^2

Convert the area of one cell to m^2 by using the conversion factor 1m^2 = (100cm)^2 => 1 = 1m^2 / 1000 cm^2

=> 150 cm^2 * [1m^2 / 1000 cm^2] = 0.150 m^2

Now finf the number of times that 0.150 is contained in 269.5 by dividing 269.5 by 0.150

269.5 = 0.150 = 1,796.67

Which means that the number of cells is betwee 1796 and 1797.
