Question 827980: Two trains leave Calgary at the same time, but travelling in opposite directions. The first train is travelling at 36km/hr and the second train at 10km/hr. How far apart are the trains after 90 minutes? Answer by josgarithmetic(39616) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 90 minutes is 1.5 hours.
Let d = distance between them at the specified time period.
Trains going opposite in direction so their distances between is the sum that each goes in that 1.5 hour time.
