Question

Problem page two trains leave stations 352 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one train travels at 75 miles per hour while the other travels at 85 miles per hour. how long will it take for the two trains to meet?

Answer 1

352mi/(85+75)=2.2hrs

^^^^^^^^^

Answer 2

It will take 2.2 hours for the two trains to meet.

Explanation:

Train A travels at 75 miles per hour.

Train B travels at 85 miles per hour.

Distance = 352 miles

Let us assume that the time they take to meet is = x hours

Time taken to meet is same.

time = distance / rate

Now, the combined speed is
`75+85` = 160 mph

x = 352/160

x= 2.2 hours

Hence, it will take 2.2 hours for the two trains to meet.
