Question

Two buses leave towns 948 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 11km/h slower than the other. If they meet in 4 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

Answer 1

If they meet in 4 hours. Then the speed of each bus will be 124 km per hour and 113 km per hour.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

Two buses leave towns 948 kilometers apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One bus travels 11km/h slower than the other.

If they meet in 4 hours.

Then the speed of each bus will be

Let x be the speed of the one bus.

Then the speed of second bus will be

Speed = x - 11

Then the relative speed will be

Speed = 2x - 11

Then we have

2x - 11 = 948 / 4

2x - 11 = 237

    2x = 248

      x = 124

Then the speed of each bus will be 124 km per hour and 113 km per hour.
