Question

"Two vehicles each travelled 200 kilometers in 3 hours, but ended up being 400 kilometers apart. How did this occur?" what kinda math do I need to do to find the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

Direction of travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that two vehicles traveled 200 km in 3 hours ;

Distance apart after 3 hours = 400 km

A logical solution to this final distance between the two cars can be explained by their direction of travel.

Since the Cars both covered the same distance over the same period of time, the both cars must have started from a common point and traveled in opposite direction.

Meaning ;

Car 1 traveled 200 km in a certain direction

Car 2 traveled 200km in the opposite direction

Hence, distance between the cars will be :

Distance covered by car 1 + distance covered by car 2

200km + 200km = 400km
