Two cars leave the gas station in opposite directions one is traveling 50miles per hour and the other is traveling 45miles per hour how many hours will they be 380 miles apart?
If they are traveling in opposite directions, then they are traveling away from each other at a speed of 95 miles per hour. 380/95=4 They have been traveling for four hours.
Two cyclists start from the same point at the same time and move in opposite directions One cyclist is traveling at 7 mph and the other cyclist is traveling at 8 mph After 120 min how many miles apart?
Multiply it out, one at a time. The first cyclist at 7 MPH... well, 120 minutes is 2 hours (120 minutes divided by 60 minutes in an hour)... so after 2 hours they would have gone 14 miles. The other is going 8 MPH for 120 minutes, so using the same math they would have gone 16 miles. Take 14 miles plus 16 miles = 30 miles. So your answer is 30 miles.
Two cyclists start biking from a trail's start 3 hours apart The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour How much?
Two cyclists start biking from a trail's start 3 hours apart. The second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour. How much time will pass before the second cyclist catches up with the first from the time the second cyclist started biking? A. 2 hoursB. 4 ½ hoursC. 5 ¾ hoursD. 6 hoursE. 7 ½ hours AnswerThe distance the 1st cyclist travels is 6(3+t) miles, andthe distance the 2nd cyclist travles is 10t miles...where t=the number of hours since cyclist #2 starts.Now solve: 6(3+t)=10t ==> 18+6t=10t ==> 18=4t ==> t=4.5 hrs==> 4.5 hours = 4 hrs 30 minutes
Two people leave simultaneously from the same starting point biking in opposite directions Linda bikes at 7 mph and Dave bikes at 9 mph how long will it be until they are 24 miles apart?
After 1 hour, Linda will be 7 miles from the starting point, and Dave will be 9 miles away from that point but in the opposite direction. So they will be exactly (9+7=) 16 miles apart after 1 hour. They are moving apart at a rate of 16 mph. After 1.5 hours they will be exactly 24 miles apart.

Wo trains leave the station at the same time going in opposite directions One of the trains travels at 90 mph and the other is traveling at 120 mph After how many hours will they be 735 miles apart?
Going in opposite directions, they separate at the rate of (90 + 120) = 210 miles per hour.They are 735 miles apart after (735/210) = 3.5 hours.

Marsha and Michael start at the same point and travel in opposite directions Marsha drives 63 mph and Michael drives 72 mph How far apart will they be in 3 hours?
... this is easy :l you need to do your own homework but I'll help :l 63 mph x 3 hours = ? 189 Miles Traveled 72 mph x 3 hours = ? 216 Miles Traveled They are traveling opposite directions so you add them together. 189 Miles + 216 Miles = ? 405 Miles Apart.

Two cyclist start bicking from a trails start 3 hours apart the second cyclist travels at 10 miles per hour and starts 3 hours after the first cyclist who is traveling at 6 miles per hour how muchtime?
Assuming you want to know how long before the second catches up with the first: After 3 hours the first cyclist has travelled 3 x 6 = 18 miles Second cyclist is travelling at 10mph, so in every hour he does 10-6 = 4 miles more. So to catch up the 18 miles between the two will take 18 / 4 = 4.5 hours = 4 hrs 30 mins
If 2 cars start 100 miles apart drive in a straight line in opposite directions 1 is going 60 mph and 1 is going 45 mph when will they collide?
Never, since they are travelling in opposite directions.. . . but probably not the one the algebra book's authors intended....If you assume that "opposite directions" means the cars are travelling towards each other, their closing speed (i.e. relative speed) is 105 mph. That means they'll meet in 100/105 hours, or slightly more than 57 minutes.
