Question 842449: Two cars start from ths same city at the same time. one travels at 45mi/h, and the other at 60 mi/h in the opposite direction. how long it will take for them to be 250 mi apart. give your answer in hours and minutes. Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They are moving away from each other at a combined rate of (45+60)mi/hr
or 105 mi/hr
Since d = r*t and t = d/r
t = 250/105 = 2.380952381 hours
0.380952381*60 = 22.8571429 minutes
so t = 2 hours 22.8571429 minutes
