Answer:

The trains will meet after 2.6 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add up the distances traveled by the two trains:

distance1 = (100 mph)(t hours)

distance2 = (90 mph)(t hours)

Sum of distance1 and distance2 = 494 miles = (190 mph)(t hours)

Solving for t, we get   t = 494 miles / 190 mph  = 2.6 hours

The trains will meet after 2.6 hours.
