Answer: the two trains will meet in 2.8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Speed of train A = 90mph

Speed of train B = 110 mph

Since both trains are travelling towards each other , their effective speed will be= 90 mph + 110mph= 200mph

Step 2

we know that Speed = distance / time

therefore Time = Distance / speed

Distance = 560 miles

Speed = 200 mph

Time = 560miles / 200mph

2.8 hours
