A car starts at mile marker 145 on a highway and drives at 55 mi/hrmi/hr in the direction of decreasing marker numbers. What mile marker will the car reach after 2 hours

Respuesta :

Answer:

135 mile marker will the car reach after 2 hours.

Explanation:

Speed of the car = 55 mile/hour

Distance covered in 2 hours = d

[tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]55 mile/hour=\frac{d}{2 hour}[/tex]

[tex]d=55 mile/hour\times 2 hour=110 mile[/tex]

The direction of the car is in decreasing marker numbers which mienas that car had started from end where 145 mile marker was present.

So, the marker appearing after travelling 2 hours will be:

145 - 110 = 135

135 mile marker will the car reach after 2 hours.
