two owls leave the same tree at 9:00 p.m. One owl flies west at 7 miles per hour and the other flies east at 13 miles per hour. In how many hours will they be 60 miles apart?

Given that

1st  owl speed = 7

2nd owl speed = 13

Distance = 60

then

Both speed = 7+13

= 20

time = Distance/ speed

t= 60/20

t= 3 hours
