So what you wanna do is take your two givens. 22 and 3. Now you wanna take 22 and divide that by 3. And that gives you 7.33. Now if your answer HAS to be a whole number it'll be 66.
Answer:
5 hours
Explanation:
Let the required time be x hours. The time will be the same for both cars.
The cars will cover different distances because they are travelling at different speeds.
<em>D=S×T
</em>
The distance travelled by the slower car = 50×x miles.
The distance travelled by the faster car = 58×x miles.
The two distances differ by 40 miles.
58x−50x=40
8x=40
x=5 hours
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A second method:
The difference in the distances is 40 miles
The difference in the speeds is #8mph.
The time to make up the 40 miles=
=5 hours
