Let's solve the problem step by step.
1. Identify the speeds of the cars:
- Car 1 travels at a speed of 69.5 kilometers per hour.
- Car 2 travels at a speed of 66.7 kilometers per hour.
2. Determine how far each car travels in one hour:
- In one hour, Car 1 will travel [tex]\(69.5\)[/tex] kilometers.
- In one hour, Car 2 will travel [tex]\(66.7\)[/tex] kilometers.
3. Calculate the distance each car travels in one hour:
- Distance traveled by Car 1 in one hour: [tex]\(69.5 \)[/tex] kilometers.
- Distance traveled by Car 2 in one hour: [tex]\(66.7 \)[/tex] kilometers.
4. Calculate the distance between the two cars after one hour:
- Since both cars are traveling in the same direction, the distance between them will be the difference between the distance traveled by Car 1 and the distance traveled by Car 2.
- Distance between the two cars after one hour: [tex]\(69.5 - 66.7 \)[/tex] kilometers.
5. Perform the subtraction to find the difference:
- [tex]\(69.5 - 66.7 = 2.8 \)[/tex] kilometers.
Thus, the distance between the two cars after one hour is approximately [tex]\(2.8\)[/tex] kilometers.
