Two trains leave the station at the same time, one heading east and the other west. The eastbound train travels at 70 mph. The westbound train travels at 90 mph. How long will it take for the two trains to be 192 miles apart.

1.2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall :

Distance = speed * time

Let the time taken = x

Creating an equation for the question :

Distance of train A + Distance of train B = 192

70 * x + 90 * x = 192

70x + 90x = 192

160x = 192

x = 192 / 160

x = 1.2

It takes 1.2 hours to be 192 miles apart.
