Question

Two people started from the same point at the same time and traveled in opposite directions. One traveled 60mph and the other at 50mph. How long will it take before the two people are 440 miles apart?

Answer 1

One person is going 60 mph and the other person is going 50 mph.

Since they are traveling opposite directions, add their speed together:

50 +60 = 110

Now divide total distance by combined speed:

440 / 110 = 4 hours.
