At that time, Train B will have traveled 109 miles (1.82 hours * 60 miles per hour), and since it left 225 miles away from NY, that's 225 miles - 109 miles = 116 miles from NY, which means at 2:19, it's at the same point where Train A is. |
I think my answer was better...yours requires too much thinking....
PS I hated those kind of math equations as a kid.
