Answer:
The second city is 54 miles behind the first city
Step-by-step explanation:
The first bus is assumed to go ahead of the second bus and is moving at 54 mph. The second bus is moving at a speed such as 54 mph is 60% (0.6) of its speed.
The speed of the second bus is then 54/0.6 = 90 mph
When 1 and a half hour has passed, the first bus has moved a distance of
= 81 miles
The second bus (behind the first bus) has moved
= 135 miles
The problem states they both meet in that time, it can only be possible if the second bus departed a distance 135 - 81 = 54 miles behind the first city
So, the second city is 54 miles behind the first city
