Do it like this one.
-------------------------
Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is going 100 miles per hour, Train B is going 110 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 12:25am. Train B passes that same station at 12:55am. At what time will Train B catch up to Train A?
---------------------------
In 1/2 hour (1255-1225) train A goes 50 miles (100 * 1/2).
Train B gains on train A at 10 mph (110 - 100).
50/10 = 5 hours.
1255 + 500 = 5:55AM
