Find the speed of the truck:

140 miles / 3.5 hours = 40 miles per hour

The car was 20 miles an hour faster: 40 + 20 = 60 miles per hour.

Divide distance by speed: 140 miles / 60 miles per hour = 2 1/3 hours

Answer: 2 1/3 hours

Answer: 2 2/6 hours

Explanation:

Distance = 140 miles

Time = 3 1/2 hours

= 7/2 hours

Speed = Distance/Time

= 140/(7/2)

= 40 miles

New distance = 140 Miles

New Speed = 60 miles

New Time = 140/60

= 2 2/6 hours
