Question

Two line painting trucks are painting lines on the side of a roadway. One truck painted 24 miles in 3 hours. The other truck painted 20 miles in 4 hours. Which ratio

Answer 1

Answer:

$A : B = 8 : 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Truck A

$Distance = 24 miles$

$Time = 3 hours$

Truck B

$Distance = 20 miles$

$Time = 4 hours$

Required

Determine the ratio of their speeds

Speed is calculated as:

$Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}$

For A:

$A= \frac{24}{3}$

$A = 8$

For B:

$B = \frac{20}{4}$

$B = 5$

So, the ratio is:

$Ratio = A : B$

$A : B = 8 : 5$
