Question 987145: at 10:30am two cars pass each other as they travel in opposite directions along a straight highway. If one car averages 48 mph and the other 52 mph at what time will they be 25 miles apart? Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The cars are separating at 100 mph.
52mph+48mph=100mph
.
25 miles/100mph=0.25 hr
(0.25 hour)(60 min/hour)=15 minutes.
They will be 25 miles apart in 15 minutes.
15 minutes from 10:30 AM is 10:45 AM.
ANSWER: They will be 25 miles apart at 10:45 AM.
