Problema Solution
Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 85 miles per hour. The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 324 miles apart?
Answer provided by our tutors
The two trains are moving away from each other.
train 1 speed = 85 mph
train 2 speed = 95 mph.
combined speed = 190 mph
distance = 324 miles
t=d/r
t=324/190
t = hours
After 1.705 hours they will be 324 miles apart
