Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. Car A traveled the distance in 2.4 h, and Car B traveled the dis
tance in 4 h. Car A traveled 22 mph faster than Car B. How fast did Car A travel? (The formula R⋅T=D , where R is the rate of speed, T is the time, and D is the distance can be used.) Enter your answer in the box.
We let x the distance traveled by Car A and y the distance traveled by car B. The speed of car A can be represented as x/2.4 and for Car B is y/4. From the statement given, we can write an equation relating the speed of both cars.
