Two cars start moving from the same point. One travels south at 60 mi/h and the other travels west at 25 mi/h. At what rate (in mi/h) is the distance between the cars increasing two hours later

25 x 2 = 50

60 x 2 = 120

120 + 50 = 170

So they have travelled 170 miles apart from one another.

or 170 mi/h
