Two trains leave stations 360 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 95 miles per hour while the other travels at 105 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?
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
