Question

Two cars start from the same point and move in a straight line, one east at a speed of 60 km per hour and the other west at a speed of 80 km per hour. After what time will they live at a distance of 770 km?

Answer 1

Answer:

5.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Speed of A = 60 kmphr

Speed of B = 80 kmphr

After what time will distance = 770 km

Speed * Time = Distance

Let time = x

Distance A + Distance B = 770

(60 * x) + (80 * x) = 770

60x + 80x = 770

140x = 770

x = 770 / 140

x = 5.5 hours
