The time it took car P to travel 900 miles was 2 hours less than the time it took car R to travel the same distance. If car P’s average speed was 10 miles per hour greater than that of car R, what was car R’s average speed, in miles per hour?
Pick one
A) 40
B) 54
C) 62
D) 70
E) 80

Rationale: "let speed of car r be = x then speed of car p = x + 10 a / q , ( 900 / x ) - ( 900 / ( x + 10 ) ) = 2 solving for x = 62 miles \ hr . c"
Answer: C
