Two trains left the two cities to meet each other at the same speed and met 6 hours after the exit

Two trains left the two cities to meet each other at the same speed and met 6 hours after the exit of the second train, the first train left 3 hours earlier and traveled 186 km longer than the distance between the cities.

1. Let’s find the speed at which both trains were traveling, if it is known that the first train covered 186 kilometers in 3 hours.

186/3 = 62 kilometers.

2. Let’s find out their speed of convergence, if it is said that the speed of the trains was the same.

62 + 62 = 124 kilometers.

3. Let’s define the path that they went together in 6 hours.

6 * 124 = 744 kilometers.

4. Let’s calculate the number of kilometers between the points from which both trains left.

744 + 186 = 930 kilometers.

Answer: There are 930 kilometers between cities.
