It might be for that, but this is a CSS design 101 question instead;
maybe m.d.web-development would be appropriate, but I'd really look at a
mailinglist like css-discuss instead.

Anyway:

#text { margin-right: 10em; }
#right { float: right; width: 10em; }

(This is easy, since regular block elements take up all available width
when not told to do something else.)
