Question 211490: Two cars leave the same parking lot at noon, One car drives 30 mph faster than the second car, which is driving due west. At what time will they be 1200 miles apart?
Time=Distance/Rate
How do I figure it out. I have come up with several possible answers, but nothing seems to be right. An answer that I keep running into is that the One car is going 97 miles an hour.
