Two buses leave nashville at the same time traveling in opposite directions. one bus travels at 55 mph and the other at 63 mph. how soon will they be 295 miles apart

Respuesta :

55 + 63 = 118 miles apart per hour
295/118 = how many hours until they are 295 miles apart = 2.5
therefore they would be that far apart after 2 hours and 30 minutes

After 2 hours and 30 minutes the two buses will be 295 miles apart.

What is Speed?

The speed of an object is the magnitude of the rate of change of its position with time or the magnitude of the change of its position per unit of time; it is a scalar quantity.

Here, speed of first bus = 55mph

         speed of 2nd bus = 63mph

Total speed of both the buses = 55 + 63 = 118 miles apart per hour

Time taken to cover 295 miles by both the bus = 295/118 =  2.5 hrs

Thus, after 2 hours and 30 minutes the two buses will be 295 miles apart.
