You can put this solution on YOUR website! Towards each other so add up speeds.
80 mph
500 ft = 500/5280 miles
t= d/r
t=(500.5280) /(80)
500 / (5 280 * 80) = 0.00118371212
0.00118371212* 3600 = 4.26 seconds
( 1 hour = 3600 seconds)

-----
Closing rate is 80 mph
time = distance/rate
-----
time = [500ft]/[80miles/hr]
= [500ft][1 mile/5280ft]
---
= [500*1*1]/[5280*80] hrs
-----
= 0.0012 hrs
