Step-by-step explanation:

the speed difference is 38 - 23 = 15 mph.

that is the same as one fairy is standing still, and the other is going 15 mph.

so, how long until 15 mph creates a gap of 75 miles ?

remember, speed = distance / time traveled

so,

15 = 75/x

x = 75/15 = 5 hours

after 5 hours they will be 75 miles apart.
