1) The distance between them increases at a rate of 99 mph. Divide 297 miles by that number.
2) In this case, the distance between them increaes at a rate of 15 mph. Divide 69 miles by that number.

But what are the equations for me to solve them?
I need equations, that's what the directions are telling me.

separation speed = 44 + 55 = 99
99 t = 297
in time t, fast one goes 47 t
slow one goes 32 t
so
47 t - 32 t = 69
99 t = 297
in time t, fast one goes 47 t
slow one goes 32 t
so
47 t - 32 t = 69
