Answer 2

75 miles per hour

Explanation:

Assuming the trains are traveling at the same rate

d = rt is the formula we are using

The total distance is 600

train1 is d= r* 3.5 hours

train 2 is d = r * 4.5 hours

Adding the distances together to get the total distance

d total = r* 3.5 hours + r * 4.5 hours

600 = 3.5r + 4.5 r

600 = 8r

Divide each side8

600/8 = 8r/8

75 = r

75 miles per hour
