Question 814170: two cars leave a rest stop at the same time but go opposite directions. One car travels at 65mph and the other at 70mph. How long will it take for the 2 cars to be 348 miles apart?
Answer by TimothyLamb(4379)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! because the question is only concerned about the relative distance between the two cars, we can simplify the problem into a single car traveling at the combined speed of the two cars:
---
s = 65 + 70 = 135 mph
s = d / t
t = d / s
---
t = 348 / 135 = 2.58 hours
