At 2:45, Train-A has a 1/2-hour lead on Train-B = 1/2 of the speed of Train-A = 5 miles.

Train-B overtakes Train-A at the rate of (50 - 40) = 10 miles per hour.

It takes Train-B (5/10) = 1/2 hour to make up the deficit.

Train-B catches up to Train-A at 3:15 AM.

Train A is traveling at 40 mph and train B is traveling at 50 mph Train a passes a station at 215 am and train b passes the same station at 245 am what time will train b catch up to train a?

You don't have quite enough information to solve this question. You need to know; 1) are the trains going in opposite directions? If not, then they may never meet 2) did the trains leave from the same station? 3) did the trains leave at the same time? 4) did the trains leave travelling at their stated speeds? Love to help, but, as stated, can't


Is traveling at 60 mph and b is traveling at 80 mph a passes the station at 1110am and b passes the same station at 1125 am what time will b catch up with a?

At 11:25, 'b' is 15 minutes behind 'a' = 1/4 hour. During that 1/4 hour, 'a' has travelled (60/4) = 15 miles away from the station. 'b' is overtaking 'a' at the rate of ( 80 - 60 ) = 20 mph. It will take 'b' (15/20) = 3/4 hour to overtake 'a', so it will happen at (11:25) + (:45) = 12:10 pm
