First person to answer gets branilyest two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. car a traveled the distance in 2.4 h, and car b traveled the distance in 4 h. car a traveled 22 mph faster than car b. how fast did car a travel? (the formula r⋅t=d , where r is the rate of speed, t is the time, and d is the distance can be used.)

Car A                               Car B

d=rt                                  d = rt

d = ra * 2.4                        d = rb 4

ra = rb+22

distances are the same so set the equations equal

ra * 2.4 =rb *4

substitue in  for ra

(rb+22) 2.4 =rb *4

distribute

2.4 rb +52.8 = 4 rb

subtract 2.4 rb from each side

52.8 = 1.6 rb

33 = rb

Car b travels at 33 miles per hour

Car a = 33+22

Car a = 55 miles per hour

is this a multiple choice question?

if so it's a and c

true
