Answer 1

352mi/(85+75)=2.2hrs

^^^^^^^^^

Answer 2

Answer:

It will take 2.2 hours for the two trains to meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Train A travels at 75 miles per hour.

Train B travels at 85 miles per hour.

Distance = 352 miles

Let us assume that the time they take to meet is = x hours

Time taken to meet is same.

time = distance / rate

Now, the combined speed is $75+85$ = 160 mph

x = 352/160

x= 2.2 hours

Hence, it will take 2.2 hours for the two trains to meet.
