They are driving apart at 100mph ( 45 + 55)
100 / 60 = 1.66 miles per minute
150 / 1.66 = ~90 minutes until they are 150 miles apart
90 minutes is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
11:30pm + 1:30 = 1:00 am
100 / 60 = 1.66 miles per minute
150 / 1.66 = ~90 minutes until they are 150 miles apart
90 minutes is 1 hour and 30 minutes.
11:30pm + 1:30 = 1:00 am

we presume that they travel X hour
55X + 45X = 150
Then X = 1.5 hour
The answer should be C
55X + 45X = 150
Then X = 1.5 hour
The answer should be C

In one hr, they will be 100 mi apart.
In 90 min, they will be 150 mi apart.
11:30 pm + 90 min = 1 am
C
In 90 min, they will be 150 mi apart.
11:30 pm + 90 min = 1 am
C

c. Their relative speed is 100 mph.
