You can put this solution on YOUR website! A car is traveling on a straight highway at a speed of 65 mph. At 10AM it overtakes a truck which is traveling in the same direction at a speed of 50 mph. How far apart (in miles) will the car and the truck be at 2PM?

Speed of the car relative to the truck is 15 mi/hr (65 - 50)
D = r*t = 4*15 = 60 miles
