During a certain period of time, a car can cover the distance of 120 miles, going at an average speed of 55 mph. What distance over the same period of time would cover a truck, going at an average speed of 44 mph
To solve this we'll use the relationship [tex]distance=rate*time[/tex]. First, we need to find the time in the first scenario: [tex]120=55t[/tex] [tex]t=\frac{24}{11}[/tex]
Then substitute this time into the second scenario: [tex]d=\frac{24}{11}*44=24*4=96[/tex]
