Answer:
0.75 hour or 45 mins
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that:
Speed of Train A = 84 miles per hour. Speed of Train B = 92 miles per hour.
Total speed travelled by both trains =
84mph + 92mph
= 176 mph
The distance between the two stations = 132 miles.
We are asked in the question to: find out how long after they leave their respective stations do the trains meet.
This means we should calculate the time
Time = Distance/ Speed
= 132 miles/176 miles per hour
= 0.75 hour
We can convert to minutes if we like
1 hour = 60 minutes
0.75 hour =
0.75 hour × 60 minutes/ 1 hour
= 45 minutes
Therefore, the trains meet after 0.75 hour or 45 minutes after they have left their respective stations.
