Question

At 10:00 a.m., a car leaves a house at a rate of 60 mi/h. at the same time, another car leaves the same house at a rate of 60 mi/h in the opposite direction. at what time will the cars be 330 miles apart?

Answer 1

Answer: 12:45 PM

Explanation: Since the cars are each moving 60 mph away from each other, in one hour, they will be 120 miles apart. We can then divided 330 miles by 120 miles to get the time required.

330 / 120 = 2.75

So after 2 and 3/4 hours (or 2 hours and 45 minutes), the cars will be 330 miles apart.
