The question doesn't tell us in what directions the two craft head out. So we get to choose.

In order to make it as easy on ourselves as possible, we'll assume they both head out in the

same exact direction, and we also assume that both encounter the same exact wind conditions.

In other words, we slightly transform the problem, into a case of two trains on the same track.

The difference in their speeds is (320 - 280) = 40 mph, so the faster guy opens up his lead

at that rate.

They're 1,000 miles apart after (1,000 / 40) = 25 hours.

That's 11:00 AM the next day.

Ben and Jerry start out one thousand miles apart If Ben drives toward Jerry at sixty-five mph and Jerry drives toward Ben at forty-six mph how far apart will they be after four hours?

distance apart = 1000 - Jerry's distance in 4 hours - Ben's distance in 4 hours d = 1000 - 4(65) - 4(46) = 1000 - 260 - 184 = 1000 - 444 = 556 miles.
