Question 1163370: Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west 105 and the other east. The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour. The eastbound train travels at miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 238 miles apart?

If the trains are traveling in opposite directions, they are moving apart at the sum of their speeds. Divide the stated distance by the sum of their speeds. Of course, this calculation presumes that there is a perfectly straight run of train track with a station slightly east of center somewhere where this scenario could possibly play out.
