If two trains are 120 miles apart and are travelling toward each other at constant rate of 30mph and 40mph respectively.How far apart will they be exactly 1 hr before they meet.
..
add up their speeds 40+30 = 70 mph.
they approach 70 miles towards each other in 1 hour.
they were 120 miles away.
120-70 = 50 miles.
they will be 50 miles away. after one hour.
