two cars are approaching each other on the same highway one from san bernardino at 80 mph and the other from las vegas at 60 mph how far apart are they on the highway one hour before they meet?
80+60 = 140 miles
To find the distance between the two cars one hour before they meet, we need to calculate how far each car travels in one hour.
Car A, coming from San Bernardino at 80 mph, will travel 80 miles in one hour.
Car B, coming from Las Vegas at 60 mph, will travel 60 miles in one hour.
Since they are approaching each other, the total distance between both cars is the sum of the distances each car has traveled. Therefore, one hour before they meet, the two cars would be 80 miles + 60 miles = 140 miles apart on the highway.
