Question

Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading west and the other east. The westbound train travels at 95 miles per hour. The eastbound train travels at 75 miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to be 442 miles apart?

Answer 1

2.6 hr

Explanation:

distance / rate = time

rate = 75 + 95 = 170 mile/hr

distance = 442 miles

442 miles / 170 mile/hr = 2.6 hr
