You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do it like this one:
=====================================
its 5am 2 trains are 1,560 miles apart traveling on parallel track towards each other. one is travelling at 100 mph, the other at 140 mph. at what time will they pass each other?
-----------------
Add the speeds when going in opposite directions.
100+140 = 240 mi/hr
---
d = r*t
t = d/r (time until they meet)
