Question 503484: Two buses start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. If one bus travels at 40mi/h and the other travels at 50 mi/h, in how many hours will the buses be 450 mi apart? Answer by nerdybill(7384) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two buses start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. If one bus travels at 40mi/h and the other travels at 50 mi/h, in how many hours will the buses be 450 mi apart?
.
Apply the distance formula of d = rt
.
Let x = time (hours) to be 450 miles apart
then
450 = 40t + 50t
450 = 90t
450/90 = t
5 hours = t
