A car 10

A car covers a distance of 200 km in 2 h 40 min whereas a jeep covers the same distance in 2 h. What is the ratio of their speeds?

Final Answer:

r =  3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

s=200 km t1=2:40=2 hr 40 min =2+6040=2.6667 hr2.6667 t2=2:0=2 hr 0 min =2+600=2 hr=2  v=s/t  r=v1:v2 r=(s/t1) : (s/t2) r = (1/t1) : (1/t2)  r=t2:t1=2:2.6667=3:4=0.75
