Answer:

2 hours and 36 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First you calculate the sum of the speeds:

115 + 95 = 210, It means every hour they get 210 miles apart.

Now the question wants the time of 546 miles apart.

You need to divide 546 to 210.

[tex]\frac{546}{210}=2.6[/tex], It gives us 2.6 hours.

2 hours + 0.6 hour.

2 hours + 0.6 × 60 minutes = 2 hours + 36 minutes
