Question

Two cars travel in opposite directions, starting from the same place at the same time. One travels at an average rate of 43 miles per hour and the other travels at 38 miles per hour. How many hours will it take for them to be 2904 miles apart?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Every hour, the cars are 43 + 38 = 81 miles further apart.

Therefore 2904/81 = 35.85 hours.

They will take around 35.85 hours for them to be 2,904 miles apart.
