Question

Two trains leave stations 360 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 110 miles per hour while the other travels at 90 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?

Do not do any rounding.

Answer 1

train A speed = 95 mph

train B speed = 105 mph

they are travelling towards each other

so effective speed = 200 mph.

distance = 360 miles

t= d/r

t=360/200

time = 1.8 hours they will meet
