Answer:
[tex]A : B = 8 : 5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Truck A
[tex]Distance = 24 miles[/tex]
[tex]Time = 3 hours[/tex]
Truck B
[tex]Distance = 20 miles[/tex]
[tex]Time = 4 hours[/tex]
Required
Determine the ratio of their speeds
Speed is calculated as:
[tex]Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
For A:
[tex]A= \frac{24}{3}[/tex]
[tex]A = 8[/tex]
For B:
[tex]B = \frac{20}{4}[/tex]
[tex]B = 5[/tex]
So, the ratio is:
[tex]Ratio = A : B[/tex]
[tex]A : B = 8 : 5[/tex]
