A Toyota car travelling at a rate of 70km. per hour leaves

the house 2 hours after a Kia car has left and overtakes it
in 5 hours. At what rate was the Kia car travelling?

a. 20 kilometers per hour

b. 30 kilometers per hour
c. 40 kilometers per hour
d. 50 kilometers per hour
 D. 50 kilometres per hour
To solve for this, we have to realize that the distance when the overtaking
occurred is the same for both cars. We now have to analyse the time it took for
each car to arrive at the same distance then apply to the formula:
𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Rate =
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒
Toyota’s total time to overtake Kia is 5 hours. Rate is 70 km/h. So, by
the time Toyota overtook Kia the distance both car is d = RT:
d = 70(5) = 350km
𝑑
And Kia’s total time is 7 hours. Thus, Kia’s rate is R = ,

350
R= = 50km/hr
