Answer:
The time 2 cars will they be 25 miles apart is 6:45am
Explanation:
Since the cars are travelling in opposite direction
Total distance which will be covered= distance covered by car 1+ distance covered by car 2
Since
Average Speed= [tex]\frac{Total Distance}{Total time}[/tex]
Suppose total time is taken as x
Total distance covered by car1 = average speed of car1[tex]\times[/tex] total time
= 60x
Similarly
Total distance covered by car2= average speed of car2 [tex]\times[/tex]total time
=40x
Now as we know that the total distance covered is 25 miles
Therefore
Total distance covered = 60x+40x
25=100x
X= [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]
X= [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]hour
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] [tex]\times[/tex] 60 = 15mins
Hence it will be 6:45am when they will be 25 miles apart
