Two trains leave the station at the same time, travelling in opposit directs. One train is travelling at 65 mi/hr and the other at 51 mi/hr. How long will it take for them to be 377 miles apart?
-----------------------
Going in opposite directions, their relative speed is the sum, 65+51 = 116 mph.
377 mi/116 mph = 3.25 hours
