Answer:

200 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that the speed is 92 km/h for the first car and 68 km/h for the second car. We do not know the time, but we do know that we need to convert it into minutes. The time for both cars would be x/60. Now we multiply speed by time and get distance. The first car would be 92 x/60 and the second would be 68 x/60, now we cross multiply and make an equation. 92x/60 - 68x/60 = 80, 24x = 80, x=200 minutes.
