Two trucks leave Chicago traveling in opposite directions On

Two trucks leave Chicago traveling in opposite directions. One truck traveled at a rate of 70km/hr, the other at 80km/hr. After how many hours were the trucks 900 km apart?

Their separation speed was 70+80 = 150 mph.

Equation:
time = distance /rate
time = 900 mi/150 mph = 6 hrs.
