Answer 1

Calculation of the Distance from A to C

To find the distance from city A to city C, we need to consider the information provided in the question.

Given: - The distance between cities A and B is 375 km. - City C is located between cities A and B. - A car starts from city A and travels towards city B at a certain speed. - After 1 hour and 30 minutes (1.5 hours), a motorcyclist starts from city A and travels towards city B at a speed of 75 km/h. - The motorcyclist catches up with the car in city C and immediately turns back towards city A. - When the motorcyclist returns to city A, the car arrives at city B.

We need to find the distance from city A to city C.

To solve this problem, we can use the formula: distance = speed × time.

Let's break down the information provided:

1. The car travels from city A to city B in a certain time. 2. The motorcyclist starts 1 hour and 30 minutes (1.5 hours) after the car and catches up with the car in city C.

Let's calculate the time it takes for the car to travel from city A to city B:

Time taken by the car = Distance / Speed

Given that the distance between cities A and B is 375 km, we need to find the speed of the car. Unfortunately, the question does not provide the speed of the car. Therefore, we cannot calculate the exact time taken by the car to travel from city A to city B.

Without the speed of the car, we cannot determine the exact distance from city A to city C. The information provided is insufficient to solve the problem.
