Question 514514: Two trains start at the same point and travel in opposite directions. One trravels at an average speed of 55 mph and the second at 70 mph. In how many hours will the trains be 250 miles apart? I really need help on this question!! Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
When two objects travel in opposite directions, they are moving apart at a rate equal to the sum of their individual speeds. Divide 250 miles by the sum of 55 and 70.
