    Answer: the second car is 75 miles further along the route.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Distance = speed * time

    The two automobiles start together from the same place and travel along the same route. The first averages 40 miles per hour. After 5 hours, the distance travelled by the first automobile is

    40 * 5 = 200 miles

    The second automobile averages 55 miles per hour. After 5 hours, the distance travelled by the second automobile is

    55 * 5 = 275 miles

    The difference in the distance travelled by both automobiles after 5 hours is

    275 - 200 = 75 miles

    the second car is 75 miles longer than the first car for 5 hours

    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to know the distance each one traveled in 5 hours

    the first one travels 40 miles in one hour

    1 h = 40 mi

    1h * 5 = 40mi * 5

    5h = 200 mi

    the second one travels 55 miles in one hour

    1 h = 55 mi

    1h * 5 = 55mi * 5

    5h = 275 mi

    so the first one traveled 200 miles and the second 275 miles

    if 275 we have 200 left, we will get how many more miles the second car made in 5 hours

    275mi - 200mi = 75mi
