The answer to your question is 4 hours (considering the cargo train started 1 hour before).

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance = 710 km

Cargo train = 1 hour before speed = 110 km/h

time = ?

Passenger train speed = 90 km/h

Process

1.- Calculate the distance traveled by the cargo train in 1 hour

d = vt

d = (110)(1)

= 110 km

2.- Write an equation to solve this problem

distance traveled by the cargo train + distance traveled by the passenger

train = total distance

(110 + vct) + (vpt) = 710 km

Substitution

110 + vct + vpt = 710

110 + 110t + 90t = 710

200t = 710 - 110

200t = 600

t = 600 / 200

t = 3 hours

3.- Conclusion

The trains will meet after 4 hours, because we must consider that the cargo train started 1 hour before.

Answer from: yofavvmk

it will take 4 hours for them to meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the time the cargo train and the passenger train meet, they would have covered a total distance of 710km.

Let t represent the time it takes them to meet.

Distance = speed × time

The cargo train is traveling with a speed of 110 km/hour. This means the distance the cargo train covers in t hours is 110 × t = 110t

The cargo train started an hour before the passenger train. This means that the time spent by the passenger train is (t - 1) hours. if the passenger train is traveling at 90 km/hour, then the distance covered by the passenger train is

90(t - 1)

Since the total distance covered is 710 km, then

110t + 90(t - 1) = 710

110t + 90t - 90 = 710

200t = 710 + 90 = 800

t = 800/200

t = 4
