Answer:
92 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the speed of the van travelling south
=
v
mph
The distance travelled by the car travelling north is
d
1
=
10
⋅
2.5
=
25
The distance travelled by the car travelling south is
d
2
=
v
⋅
2.5
=
2.5
v
The distance between the cars after
2.5
h
is
d
1
+
d
2
=
255
25
+
2.5
v
=
255
2.5
v
=
255
−
25
=
230
v
=
230
2.5
=
92
mph
The speed is
=
92
mph
