Answer:

2 hours 1 minute 9.23 seconds

Explanation:

Since they are traveling in opposite directions, their separation speed is the sum of the magnitudes of their speeds: 30 +22 = 52 mph.

The time is related to speed and distance by ...

time = distance / speed

= (105 mi)/(52 mi/h = 2 1/52 h ≈ 2 h 1 min 9.23 sec

It will take a little over 2 hours before they are 105 miles apart.
