The easiest way is to think of one train as standing still
\n" ); document.write( "and the other one traveling at the sum of their speeds.
\n" ); document.write( "When the one that is moving covers 673 miles, they collide.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+673+=+%28+100+%2B+87+%29%2At+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+673+=+187t+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+t+=+3.599+\" hrs
\n" ); document.write( "\"+.599%2A60+=+36+\" min
\n" ); document.write( "They will collide in 3 hrs and 36 min
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
