Answer:
- They will be 580 km apart in 3 hours and 37.5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
- Two cars start from the same place at the same time but in opposite directions, both cars travel at a speed of 80 km/hr.
So,
- After 1 hour, They will be 160 km apart.
To Find:
- How long will they be 580 km apart?
We know that:
≛ Time = Distance/Time ≛
We have:
- Distance = 580 km
- Speed = 160 km per hour
⇢ Time = 580/160 h
⇢ Time = 3.625 h
Converting time in hours and minutes:
≛ 1 h = 60 min ≛
- 3.625 h = 3 h + (60 × 0.625) min
- 3.625 h = 3 h + 37.5 min
- 3.625 h = 3 h and 37.5 min
Hence,
- After 3 hours and 37.5 minutes, they will be 580 km apart.

Given :-
Two cars start from the same place at the same time but in opposite directions. both cars travel at a speed of 80 km/hr.
To Find :-
How long will they be 580 km apart
Solution :-
We know that
Distance = Time × Speed
580 = Time × 2(80)
580 = Time × 160
580/160 = Time
3.63 = Time
or
