Question 929598: Two trains leave stations 228 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at 105 miles per hour while the other travels at 85 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet? Answer by LinnW(1048) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! They are moving towards each other at a combined speed of 105 + 85 miles per hour.
So their combined speed is 190
228/190 = time in hours = 1.2 hours
Notice 1.2 * 190 = 228
