Question 906116: two cars travel in opposite directions, starting from the same place at the same time. One travels at an average of 50 miles per hour and the other averages at 53 miles per hour. In how many hours will they be 618 miles apart? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! d=r*t+R*t
618=50*t+53*t
618=103*t
t=6 hours
d=R*t
d=53*6
d=318 miles at 53 kph
d=r*t
d=50*6
d=300 miles at 50 kph
