Answer:

  • A) 290 km
  • B) 4 hours
  • C) 72.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance be d and time t

<u>At 75 km/h speed the distance is</u>

  • d = 75(t - 48 min) = 75(t - 48/60 hours)

<u>At 50 km/h speed the distance</u> is

  • d = 50t + 40

<u>Since the distance is same, we get the equation:</u>

  • 75(t - 48/60) = 50t + 40
  • 75t - 75*4/5 = 50t + 40
  • 75t - 60 = 50t + 40
  • 75t - 50t = 40 + 60
  • 25t = 100
  • t = 4 hours

<u>A) The distance between A and B</u>

  • d = 50*5 + 40 = 290 km

<u>B) Time is </u>

  • 4 hours as found above

<u>C) The speed = d/t</u>

  • Speed = 290/4 = 72.5 km/h
