Two trains are headed toward each other at rates of 80mph and 120mph respectively. How many miles apart ar they one minute before impact?

I tried to put it in Minutes and the rate per minutes but it was not working for me. Then i multiplied 80 * 120 but idk. I have been working on this for 40 minuters and need help!

thank you to all those math-savy people!

  1. Their closing speed is 200 mph (120+80)

    200 mi/hr x 1hr/60min = 3.333 mi/min

    So they are 3.333 miles apart one minute before collusion.
