Time/Distance/Speed


Distance between Train 1 and Train 2 = 95 miles.
Average speed of Train 1 = 45 mph.
Average speed of Train 2 = 60 mph.


If both trains leave at the same time and travel toward each other but on parallel tracks, in how much time will their engines be opposite each other? (Hint: When the engines are opposite each other, together the trains will have traveled 95 miles. Their relative speed of travel is the sum of their respective speeds, or 105 mph.)
