One speed is 200/8=25, the other is

200/(8+2)= 20

Closing speed is the sum of the two or

45

Distance traveled between them is 200, so

Time=distance/rate = 200/45 =

4.44 hours.

Answer is not among the answer choices. I don't view 4.4 as being approximately 4, even if 4 is the best choice among them.
