Traveling 5687

The distance between the two cities is 60 km. It takes a slower vehicle half an hour longer to travel this distance than a faster one traveling at speed 50 percent faster. How fast is each vehicle going?

Correct answer:

v1 =  40 km/h
v2 =  60 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

s=60 km t2 = t1  0.5 v2 = 1.5 v1 v1   t1 = v2 t2 = s  v1 t1 = 60 1.5 v1   (t10.5) = 60  1.5   (t10.5) = t1  0.5t1 = 0.5   1.5 t1=0.5 1.5/0.5=23=1.5 h t2=t10.5=1.50.5=1 h v1=s/t1=60/1.5=40 km/h
v2=1.5 v1=1.5 40=60 km/h
