Two cars leave a rest stop at the same time and proceed to travel down the highway in the same direction one travels at an average rate of 57 mph and the other at an average rate of 58 mph how far apart are the two cars after 5.5 hours

Respuesta :

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Speed of first car = 57 mph

Time = 5.5 hours

Distance covered by first car = Speed * Time

Distance covered by first car = 57*5.5 = 313.5 miles

Speed of other car = 58 mph

Distance covered by other car = 58*5.5 = 319 miles

Difference = 319 - 313.5

Difference = 5.5 miles

The two cars will be 5.5 miles apart after 5.5 hours.
