Question 1003259: Two cars start from a red light traveling down a highway in the same direction. One car averages 40 mph, while the other car averages 55 mph. How much time does it take before the two cars are 5 miles apart? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since they travel at a 15 mph difference, 5 miles is covered in 5/15 hour,
which is 1/3 hour or twenty minutes.
