A Japanese bullet train leaves the station traveling west at 164 mph. A pigeon which was resting on the train is startled, and starts flying east at 40 mph. After two hours, how far about are the pigeon and the train?

If they continue to move in the given directions, the speeds are added.
164 + 40 = 204 mi/hr
2 hr * 204 mi/hr = 408 miles
