From points A and B, the distance between which is 280 km, at 9 am two cars left to meet each other.
From points A and B, the distance between which is 280 km, at 9 am two cars left to meet each other. At 11 o’clock they met at point C. It is known that AC refers to CB as 3: 4 Find: Distances AC and BC, Vehicle speeds, Time of arrival of vehicles at points A and B.
1. Let’s find first after what time they met:
11 – 9 = 2 (h).
2. Let’s calculate the distances AC and CB. Since there are only 7 parts (3 and 4), we find out how many km are in one part:
280/7 = 40 (km).
This means the distance of the AC:
40 x 3 = 120 (km).
And the distance NE:
40 x 4 = 160 (km).
3. Speed of the first car:
120/2 = 60 (km / h).
Second:
160/2 = 80 (km / h).
4. The first car will be at point B through:
280/60 = 4 2/3 (h)
The second car will be at point A through:
280/80 = 3.5 (h).
Answer: in the note.
