Answer: It will take 1.8 hours for the two trains to meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Speed of one train = 75 mph

Speed of other train = 95 mph

Since they travel towards each other.

so, Relative speed = 75+95 = 170 mph

Distance between them = 306 miles

We need to find the time taken:

So, it becomes,

$time=\dfrac{Distance}{Speed}\\\\Time=\dfrac{306}{170}\\\\Time=1.8\ hours$

Hence, it will take 1.8 hours for the two trains to meet.

Combined speed = 95+75= 170 mph

they will meet in 306/170 = 1.8 hours or 1 hour 48 minutes.
