Question

Картофель с поля вывозили 2 грузовые машины. Они выехали в 8 часов и двинулись в одном направлении. В 10 часов расстояние между ними было 4 км. С какой скоростью мог двигаться один из грузовиков, если другой двигался со скоростью 50км/ч?

Answer 1

Problem Analysis

We have two trucks carrying potatoes from a field. They started at 8 o'clock and moved in the same direction. At 10 o'clock, the distance between them was 4 km. One of the trucks was moving at a speed of 50 km/h. We need to find the speed at which the other truck was moving.

Solution

Let's assume the speed of the second truck is x km/h.

We know that the distance covered by both trucks in 2 hours is the same. Therefore, we can set up the following equation:

Distance covered by the first truck = Distance covered by the second truck

The distance covered by the first truck can be calculated
