PLEASE HELP!!!

Ned And Ralph Left The Auditorium At The Same Time But Headed In Opposite Directions After 2 Hours They Were 250 Miles Apart If Ned V Drove 5 Mph Faster Than Ra class=

Sagot :

The speed of Ralph if Ned  drove 5 mph faster than Ralph is 65mph

  • Let the speed of Ned be x

If Ned  drove 5 mph faster than Ralph, then the speed of Ralph will be x - 5

Ralph drives at 65mph.

What is Distance?

This is the product of speed and time taken. Mathematically;

d  = st

Since Ned and Ralph left the auditorium at the same  time, hence;

t1 = t2 = t

t = d/s

  • distance covered by Ned = 2x
  • distance covered by Ralph = 2(x-5)

Since ethe total distance traveled is 250 miles, then;

2x + 2(x-5) = 250

4x - 10 = 250

4x = 260

x = 260/4

x = 65

This shows that Ralph drives at 65mph
