two cars are driving toward each other from opposite directions if one is driving 55mph the other is driving 60 mph and the cars are 500miles apart how long before they pass each other? round to the nearest tenth of an hour.
Persistent, aren't you?
yes i need help please help me!
how many more miles of trails are there than miles of shoreline in crater lake national park?
distance / speed A + speed B = time
4.3
a and j are 30 miles apart a paddles at 5 mph while rudy paddles at 8 mph how long will it take them to meet
To find out how long it will take for the two cars to pass each other, we can use the formula: time = distance / speed.
First, let's calculate the combined speed of the two cars traveling in opposite directions:
Combined speed = speed of car 1 + speed of car 2
Combined speed = 55 mph + 60 mph
Combined speed = 115 mph
Next, we can determine the time it takes for the two cars to meet by dividing the total distance they need to cover by their combined speed:
Time = distance / combined speed
Time = 500 miles / 115 mph
To round the answer to the nearest tenth of an hour, we will use the following steps:
1. Divide the distance by the speed to get the exact time.
2. Round the exact time to one decimal place.
Now, let's calculate the time it takes for the two cars to pass each other:
Time = 500 miles / 115 mph
Time ≈ 4.347826086956522 hours (exact time)
Rounding to the nearest tenth of an hour:
Time ≈ 4.3 hours
Therefore, it will take approximately 4.3 hours for the two cars to pass each other.
