In an automobile race, a driver was 400 miles from the finish after 4 hrs. Another driver, who was in a later race, traveled the same speed as the first driver. After 3.5 hours, the driver was 450 miles from the finish. Find the speed of each driver. any help is appreciated.

Read your problem SLOWLY and THINK:
do you see that in 1/2 hour, 50 miles are travelled?

And WHY find the speed of EACH driver: "same speed" is given?

Start a NEW post when you have a question!

Triangles do NOT have volumes; and you go from triangle to pyramid!
Ckeck your problem and enter it CORRECTLY.
