Question

Two trains leave stations
546
miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels at
95
miles per hour while the other travels at
115
miles per hour. How long will it take for the two trains to meet?
Do not do any rounding.

Answer 1

95+115x=546

Answer 2

you're almost there!

Answer 3

at least im close

Answer 4

speed * time = distance

Answer 5

95*115*546=x

Answer 6

In `x` hours the first train travels a distance of `95x`

In `x` hours the second train travels a distance of `115x`

when they meet they both would have travelled a distance of 546 miles :

\[95x + 115x = 546\]

Answer 7

solve \(x\)

Answer 8

x=2.6

Answer 9

yes! so it takes 2.6 hours for them to collide
