Answer:
The time at which the two trains will meet is 1 hour and 24 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The distances between the two trains = 196 miles
The direction of the two trains = Towards each other
The speed of one of the trains = 80 miles per hour
The speed of the other train = 60 miles per hour
Let 't' represent the time at which the two trains meet, we have;
80·t + 60·t = 196
∴ 140·t = 196
t = 196/140 = 7/5
The time at which the two trains will meet, t = 7/5 hours = 1.4 hours = 1 hour, 24 minutes.
