Question 356580
two cars leave town at the same time going in the same direction on the same road. one travels 30 mph, the other travels at 45 mph. in how many hours will they be 150 miles apart?
...
speed of A = 30 mph
Speed of B = 45 mph
...
B will get ahead by 45-30 = 15 miles every hour.
Time = distance/speed
..
150/15
=10.
after 10 hours they will be 150 miles apart
