They are separating at a rate equal to the slower truck's speed. Since It took 6 hours to separate by 204 miles, that is
204mi/6hr = 34 mi/hr
So, the slower truck is going 34 mi/hr
You found the faster truck's speed, but then botched it again since 2*8 ≠ 146 !!
Two trucks are traveling in the same direction, one going twice as fast as the other. At the end of 6 hours they are 204 miles apart. How fast is each travelling?
Can you guys show me the answer i got 68 and 146 but its wrong
