Question 516340: Two buses leave Dallas at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus travels at 58 mph and the other travels at 52mph when will they be 363 miles apart? Answer by Maths68(1474) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Bus A Data
==========
Speed = 58mph
Time=t hour
Distance Covered by Bus A=58*t
=============
Bus B Data
============
Speed = 52mph
Time=t hour
Distance covered by Bus B=52*t
Distance Covered by Bus A + Distance Covered by Bus B = Total Distnace apart
52t+58t=363
110t=363
110t/110=363/110
t=3.3 hour
They will be 363 miles apart after 3.3 hours or 3 hours 18 minutes.

=============
Bus A Data
==========
Speed = 58mph
Time=3.3 hours
Distance Covered by Bus A=58*3.3=191.4 miles
Bus B Data
============
Speed = 52mph
Time=3.3 hours
Distance covered by Bus B=52*3.3 = 171.6 miles
Total Distance between two Buses = 191.4+171.6 = 363 miles
