This math topic involves advanced problems related to speed, distance, and time, focusing on scenarios where two cars travel the same distance at different speeds, arriving at their destination at different times. The task is to calculate the speed of the second car given the speed of the first car and the time difference in their arrivals. Problems are designed to help learners apply their understanding of the relationships between speed, time, and distance to solve practical questions about travel and pacing. Multiple-choice answers are provided for each question to test understanding.
