The difference in their speeds is 65 minus 40, so the faster car is opening the distance between the two cars at a rate of 25 miles per hour. Distance equals rate times time, so time is distance divided by rate.
Just do the arithmetic. If you need the time expressed in hours and minutes, just remember that one-tenth of an hour is 6 minutes.
