Question

Two cars started from the same place at the same time but travelled in opposite directions. After 9 hours they were 910 kilometers apart. If the speed of one car is 10 kilometers per hour slower than the other what were their speeds per hour

Answer 1

55.55 and 45.55

Explanation:

Let the car 1 speed be x km/hr and car 2 speed be x-10 km/hr.

Their relative velocity is 2x-10.

Distance covered in 9 hrs=9(2x-10).

18x-90=910, x=55.55 km/hr, x-10=45.55km/hr
