Question

Two trains have to travel 300 miles. Train A travels at 50 mph and train B travels at 60 mph. However, Train B leaves 1 hour later. When will the two trains meet?

Answer 1

At the end of the travilling distance and they will take 6 hours

Explanation:

After one hour train A is 50mph far but train B is 0 mph. In 2 hours train A is 100 mph and train B is 60 mph. In 3 hours the distance between them is 30 mph. In 4 hours the distance between them will decrease to 20 mph. In 5 hours will be 10 mph the distance between them. So you can see both trains will meet each other at the end of travilling distance so they will arrived at the same time

Answer 2

7 hours

Explanation:

They won’t nessciarly pass each other while on the tracks becuase Train B is gonna be done with 300 miles so its at the station, it takes 6 hours for the A to reach that station but train B left an hour earlier so that adds another hour

So 7 hours until the two trains meet
