Problema Solution

Two buses leave Dallas at the same time and travel in opposite directions. One bus averages 58 mi/h, and the other bus averages 52 mi/h. When will they be 363 mi apart?

Answer provided by our tutors

the total speed of the buses is the sum of their speeds since they are travelling in exactly opposite directions


distance = speed * time

time = distance / speed


time = 363/(58+52) = 3.3


0.3 * 60 = 18


they will be 363 miles apart in 3 hours and 18 minutes
