Two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels 14 kmh slower than the other. If the two buses are 1356 kilometers apart after 6 hours, what is the rate of each bus?

106 km / hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total time: 6 hours

Total distance: 1356 km

First bus rate: r

Second bus rate: r - 14

Formula

d = r * t

Solution

r*6 + (r - 14)*6 = 1356             Remove the brackets

6*r + 6*r - 84 = 1356              Add like terms

12r - 84 = 1356                       Add 84 to both sides

12r + 84 - 84 = 1356-84         Combine

12r = 1272                              Divide by 12

r = 1272/12                              

r = 106 km/hr

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.
