Two cars started moving in opposite directions from the same point at the same moment of time. if the speed of one car is 50 mph, and the other car goes at a speed of 60 mph, how soon the distance between them will become 1320 miles?

To cover 1320 miles they will need 12 hours of time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

The cars are moving in opposite direction and the starting point of the cars are same:

The speed of first car

The speed of second car

As we know, Distance = Speed Time

If the first car covered the distance

Then the distance covered by second car will be

Now form two equation taking time as from the given information and equate them.

And

On solving the above equation:

Hence, to cover 1320 miles they will need 12 hours of time.

           A                                         B

          50 mph                               60 mph

so let's recall that d = rt, distance = rate * time.

both cars start out at the same time, say "t" hours.

after "t" hours car A has covered say "d" miles, since there's a total of 1320, then car B must surely had covered the slack, or 1320 - d.
