Two cars leave Salt Lake City traveling in opposite directions. One car travels at a speed of 80 km/h and the other at 96 km/h. In how many hours will they be 528 km apart?
apply distance formula of
d = rt
.
Let x = time (hours) it takes to be 528 km apart
then
x(80) + x(96) = 528
x(176) = 528
x = 528/176
x = 3.057 hours
