Car I -------- 80 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "Car II -------- 96 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "they are traveling away from each other
\n" ); document.write( "so add up speeds
\n" ); document.write( "96 + 80 = 176 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 528 km
\n" ); document.write( "time = d/r
\n" ); document.write( "time= 528 / 176
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 3 h
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
