Respuesta :
The two trains would meet at one hour and 24 minutes.
What is distance?
Distance is the movement of an object regardless of direction. Distance can be defined as the amount of length an object has covered, regardless of its starting or ending position.
We know that distance (d) = speed(s) x time(t)
So let t represent the time by both trains.
Since the first train will be Train A and the second will be Train B, Train A will travel 80 miles and Train B will travel 100t miles.
Two trains traveling in opposite directions will have covered 252 miles in total. The meeting location will be nearer to the starting point of the slower train (Train A) because the faster train (Train B) has traveled further.
So now we can write it as
80t + 100t = 252
180t = 252
t=1.4
This would mean that the trains would meet after one hour and 24 minutes.
