Question 902984: Two cars start from the same point and travel in the same direction. if one car is traveling 60 miles per hour and the other car is traveling at 45 miles per hour, how far apart will they be after 6.3 hours?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Car A travels at 60mph
Car B travels at 45mph
Time = 6.3h
------------------
First we need to find out how far each car traveled in 6.3 hours.
Car A: %2860miles%2Fcross%28hour%29%29%2A%286.3cross%28hours%29%2F1%29+=+378+miles
Car B: %2845miles%2Fcross%28hour%29%29%2A%286.3cross%28hours%29%2F1%29+=+283.5miles
Now we need to find the distance between the cars.
378miles+-+283.5miles+=+94.5miles
