Three cars started from the same point at the same time in three different directions. The first two cars move in a straight line in opposite directions. It is noticed that after two hours, all the cars are at the same distance from the starting point. If the distance between the two cars which travelled in opposite directions is 170 km, how far (in km) from the second car is the third car, given that the distance between the first and the third cars is 136 km?

- Indeed, after two hours, they will be 16 miles apart.
- Indeed, after two hours, they will be 16 miles apart.To use this information, I will subtract 16 from 208 to get 192. Then I'll divide 192 by 2 to get 96. That's how far the slower car traveled. In 2 hours, that's a rate of 48 miles per hour.
