anonymous · Answer

Ahehehehe I give medals if people help me out :)

anonymous · Answer

there is a formula for this dear

anonymous · Answer

time,distance, speed formula

anonymous · Answer

since they are moving in opposite directions toward one another mathmatically you can add the two speeds together and see how long it takes at that speed to travel the entire distance.

70+65 = 135 miles / hour

total distance is 405 miles

speed = distance / time

rearrange to solve for time

time = distance / speed

time = 405 miles / 135 miles/hour (miles cancel leaving you with the unit of hours)

time = 3 hours
