You can put this solution on YOUR website! At 8:00 A>M> a train leaves a station and travels at a rate of 46 mph. At 9:00 A.M. a second train leaves the same station on the same track and travels in the direction of the first train at a speed of 61 mph. At 10:00A.M> how far apart are the two trains?
distance =speed*travel time
..
travel time of 1st train=8 AM-10 AM=2 hrs
distance traveled=2*46=92 miles
..
travel time of 2nd train=9 AM-10 AM=1 hr
distance traveled=1*61=61 miles
..
how far apart are the two trains? 92-61=31 miles
