From a point on a straight road, two cars are driven in opposite directions, one at 44 miles per hour and the other at 35 miles per hour. In how many hours will they be 237 miles apart?

Answer 1

3 hrs. I drew a picture to help me with this one.

Answer 2

44t + 35t = 237 miles.
79t = 237,
t = 3 hrs.
