Answer:

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours

Explanation:

The two friends left the school at the same time and drove in opposite directions. One of them have a speed of 40 miles per hour while the other have a speed of 35 miles per hour .

The both of them are moving apart at the rate = 40 + 35 = 75 miles per hour

let

t = time at which they are 150 miles apart

speed = distance/time

time = distance/speed

time = 150/75

time = 2 hours

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours
