Question

1. two trucks are headed in the same direction on the same highway. one of the trucks is traveling at 60 km/hr and the other truck is traveling at 80 km/hr. how many hours will it take each truck to reach their destination if they are headed to the same warehouse which is 480 km away?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate time for 60 km/hr truck

Use $t = \frac{d}{v}$, where $d=480$ km, $v=60$ km/hr.
$\text{Time}_1 = \frac{480}{60}$

Step2: Calculate time for 80 km/hr truck

Use $t = \frac{d}{v}$, where $d=480$ km, $v=80$ km/hr.
$\text{Time}_2 = \frac{480}{80}$

Step3: Simplify both expressions

$\text{Time}_1 = 8$ hours, $\text{Time}_2 = 6$ hours

Answer:

The truck traveling at 60 km/hr will take 8 hours, and the truck traveling at 80 km/hr will take 6 hours.
