Step-by-step solution
2 stepsA)
Determine the distance traveled by each car.
The formula for distance is: Distance = Speed × Time
Distance traveled by Car X:
Distance_X = 60 km/h × 3 h
Distance_X = 180 kmDistance traveled by Car Y:
Distance_Y = 80 km/h × 3 h
Distance_Y = 240 kmCalculate the total distance apart.
Since the cars are traveling in opposite directions, their distances add up to find how far apart they are.
Total Distance = Distance_X + Distance_Y
Total Distance = 180 km + 240 km
Total Distance = 420 km
