Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note; cars traveling in opposite direction for the same amont of time
\n" ); document.write( "d = r* t
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "40mph*t + 50mph*t = 225mi
\n" ); document.write( "t(90mph) = 225m
\n" ); document.write( "t = 225m/90mph
\n" ); document.write( "t = 2.5 hr
\n" ); document.write( "they will be 225m apart in 2hr and 30m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "check your answer
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "40mph*2.5 + 50mph*2.5
\n" ); document.write( "100 + 125 = 225 mi
\n" ); document.write( "
