Answer:
180 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of trials per team = 3
Distance per trial for team D's car is the same for each trial, let distance = x
Distance per trial for team C's car is 1cm farther than team D's distance and the same for each trial, hence, distance = x + 1 per trial
Total distance traveled by C = 543 cm
This means :
(x + 1) + (x + 1) + (x + 1) = 543
3x + 3 = 543
3x = 543 - 3
3x = 540
x = 540 / 3
x = 180
Hence, distance traveled per trial for team D's car = x = 180 cm
