A car that travels 20 miles in 1/2 hour at a constant speed is traveling at the same speed as a car that travels 30 miles in 3/4 hour at a constant speed. Explain or show why

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both The car A and B have same speed , i,e 40 miles per hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The distance cover by  car A = 20 miles

The Time taken by car A = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hours

So , From Distance = Speed ×Time

Or,             20 miles = speed × [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

∴                    Speed = 20 × 2 = 40 mph

So ,                Speed = 40 miles per hour

Again ,

The distance cover by  car B = 30 miles

The Time taken by car A = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] hours

So, From Distance = Speed ×Time

Or,             30 miles = speed × [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

∴                    Speed = [tex]\frac{30×4}{3}[/tex] = 40 mph

So ,                 Speed = 40 miles per hour

Hence From the solutions for both car A and  B , it is clear that both the car have same speed .   Answer
