Question

A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the police car and is 100 feet up the road from the location of the police car. The police radar reads that the distance between the police car and the red car is decreasing at a rate of 85 feet per second. How fast is the red car actually traveling along the road?

Answer 1

I think to solve this question, subtract the rate of feet per second disappearing from the distance of feet between the 2 cars.

100-85=15fps

The car is traveling at 15 feet per second.

Hope this helps!
