two buses leave a station at the same time and travel in opposite directions one bus averages 68 mi/hr and the other bus averages 52 mi/hr. when will they be 250 mi apart
***
let x=travel time of busses when they are 250 miles apart
The two Busses traveling in opposite directions are separating at a speed=58+62=120
travel time=distance/speed
x=250/120=2.08
when will the busses be 250 mi apart? 2.08 hrs
