Two cars traveled equal distances in different amounts of time. car a traveled the distance in 2 h,
and car b traveled the distance in 1.5 h. car b traveled 15 mph faster than car a.
how fast did car b 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.)
enter your answer for the box.
mph

Car B was going 60 mph and Car A was going 45 mph
