Kim highlight%28left%29 the mall and traveled toward the lake at an average speed of 25 mph.
Daniel left sometime later traveling in the opposite direction with an average speed of 30 mph .
After Kim had traveled for two hours they were 110 mi. apart . How long did Daniel travel ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 


    How long did Daniel travel = %28110+-+2%2A25%29%2F30 = %28110-50%29%2F30 = 60%2F30 = 2 hours.


From the solution, Daniel traveled exactly the same time as Kim, which means that they started AT THE SAME TIME,

i.e. SIMULTANEOUSLY.
