We'll calculate the distance of each vehicle travelled after 5 hours.

Distance Formula, D=Speed%2Atime

V%5B1%5D:
D%5B1%5D=%2850mi%2Fcross%28hr%29%29%285cross%28hrs%29%29=250miles

V%5B2%5D:
D%5B2%5D=%2865mi%2Fcross%28hr%29%29%285cross%28hrs%29%29=325miles

Therefore,
D%5B2%5D-D%5B1%5D=325mi-250mi=red%2875miles%29 ---> distance bet. 2 vehicles after 5 hrs.

Thank you,
