One car passes another car on a freeway.
\n" ); document.write( "The faster car is traveling 12 miles per hour faster than the slower car.
\n" ); document.write( " Determine how long it will be before the faster car is 2 miles ahead of the slower car?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can use the relative speed between the cars, and the formula: time = dist/speed
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\"2%2F12\"$ hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "t = $\"1%2F6\"$ * 60 = 10 minutes \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
