A bus and a car leave the same place and travel in opposite directions. If the bus is traveling at 50 mph and the car is traveling at 55 mph, in how many hpurs will they be 210 miles apart.
Again please help me with the boxes, Im in advanced math and I'm not good with the boxes...
The two cars are moving away from each other at a rate of 105 mph. How long will it take before they are 210 miles apart.
Also, I don't know what you mean by "boxes"
To solve this problem, we can use the formula:
Distance = Speed x Time
In this case, we want to find the time it takes for the bus and the car to be 210 miles apart. Let's assume that the time it takes for them to be 210 miles apart is represented by t (hours).
The distance traveled by the bus can be calculated as:
Distance traveled by the bus = Speed of the bus x Time
Distance traveled by the bus = 50 mph x t
Similarly, the distance traveled by the car can be calculated as:
Distance traveled by the car = Speed of the car x Time
Distance traveled by the car = 55 mph x t
Since the bus and the car travel in opposite directions, the sum of their distances traveled will be equal to the total distance between them:
Distance traveled by the bus + Distance traveled by the car = Total distance
50t + 55t = 210
Combining like terms:
105t = 210
Dividing both sides of the equation by 105:
t = 210 / 105
t = 2
Therefore, it will take 2 hours for the bus and the car to be 210 miles apart.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
