You can put this solution on YOUR website! Two cars that started at the same point are driving away from each other. The first car is driving north at 65 mph, and the other car is moving south at a rate of 30 mph. How long (in hr) will it take for the cars to be 380 miles apart?
-------------------
The cars are separating at (65+30) = 95mph
----
Equation:
time = distance/rate = 380/95 = 4 hrs
