Question

Two cars leave the same place at the same time, but drive in opposite directions along a straight road. One car averages 55 mi/h and the other averages 65 mi/h. In how many hours will they be 250 miles apart?

Answer 1

The answer is 2.083 repeating.

Explanation:

55+65=120

250/120=2.083 repeating.

55*2.083=114.565

65*2.083=135.395

114.565+135.395=249.96

Which I didn't keep all the 3's, so that is why it is 249.96
