12:15pm, A train leaves Cogsville heading west to Brighton at 100 mph. At what time will they pass each

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Think of one train as standing still and
the other approaching at the sum of their speeds
The time elapsed is the time for the trains
to meet
------- hr min
12:15 + 2 hrs 22 min = 14:37
14:37 - 12:00 = 2:37
They will pass each other at 2:37 PM
