2 cars start at the same point and travel in the same direction at average speeds of 65 miles per hours and 45 miles per hour. How much time in hours must elapse before the two cars are 70 miles apart?

65-45=20 mph=speed at which cars are moving apart
travel time=distance/speed
70/20=3.5
How much time in hours must elapse before the two cars are 70 miles apart? 3.5 hrs
