Rate-Time-Distance Problem 4
Solves this word problem using uniform motion rt = d formula.
Example:
Andy and Beth are at opposite ends of a 18-mile country road with plans to leave at the same time running toward each other to meet. Andy runs 7 mph while Beth runs 5 mph. How long after they begin will they meet? Rate-Time-Distance Problem 5
Example:
A car and a bus set out at 2 pm from the same spot, headed in the same direction. The average speed of the car is twice the average speed of the bus. After 2 hours, the car is 68 miles ahead of the bus. Find the rate of the bus and the car. Rate-Time-Distance Problem 6
Example:
A plane flew from one city to another city averaging 150 mph. Later, it flew back to the first city averaging 100 mph. The total flying time was 5 hours. How far apart are the cities? How to solve Algebra Word Problem in Distance, Rate, and Time using Quadratics?
