Two buses leave Phoenix at the sametime traveling in opposite directions one bus travels at 62 miles per hour and the other at 58 miles per hour how soon will they be 300 miles apart?

total speed of separation = 120 miles/hour

300 = 120 T

T = 30/12 hours

= 2 1/2 hours

To find out how soon the two buses will be 300 miles apart, we can use the formula:

Distance = Rate × Time

Let's denote the time it takes for the buses to be 300 miles apart as "t" (in hours).

For the first bus traveling at a speed of 62 miles per hour, the distance it covers in time "t" is 62t.

Similarly, for the second bus traveling at a speed of 58 miles per hour, the distance it covers in time "t" is 58t.

Since the two buses are traveling in opposite directions, their distances add up to the total distance apart, which is 300 miles:

62t + 58t = 300

Simplifying the equation:

120t = 300

Dividing both sides by 120:

t = 300/120

t = 2.5

Therefore, it will take approximately 2.5 hours for the two buses to be 300 miles apart.
