Question 699402: Two cars leave the same place at the same time, but drive in opposite directions along a straight road. One car averages 55 mi/h and the other averages 65 mi/h. In how many hours will they be 250 miles apart? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Time = distance / speed
the cars are traveling in opposite directions so add their speeds
55+65=120 mph
Distance = 250
time = 250/120
=2.08 hours
