<PRE><B>Question 1023539</B>
Hi there,
Two trains traveling at 80 and 60mph respectively.
80:60 = 4:3
4 + 3 = 7
4/7 x 196 = 112 miles
3/7 x 196 = 84 miles
Time = Distance/Speed
Time = 112/80 = 1.4 hours
Time = 84/60 = 1.4 hours
It will take 1 hour 24 minutes 
for the trains to be 196 miles apart.
Hope this helps :-)</PRE>
