The slower car sees the faster car approaching at a relative speed of 65kmh25kmh=40kmh.
They were initially separated by 80 meters, or 0.08 kilometers.
How to use that data to get a result:
speed=distancetime, therefore after an application of some algebra,
   time=distancespeed
Plugging in the data, we find that
Undefined control sequence \cancel
Perhaps it would be better to know how many seconds that is ...
Undefined control sequence \cancel
