Question 213566: How do you figure out how to do this problem:
The distance between City A and City B is 325 miles. A freight train leaves City A and travels toward City B at 40 miles per hour. At the same time, a passenger train leaves City B and travels toward City A at 85 miles per hour. How long will it take the two trains to meet? Answer by rfer(16322) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The trains are coming together at 125mph
325/125=2.6hrs
2.6*40=104mph
2.6*85=221mph
total distance=325mi
