    x/110 = (320-x) / 90

    Cross multiply

    90x = 35200-110x

    200x=35200

    X = 35200/200 = 176 (distance traveled by train going 110 mph

    176/110 = 1.6 hours = 1 hour and 36 minutes

    Check: 110*1.6 = 176, 90*1.6 = 144

    176+144 = 320

    it will take 1.6 hours (1 hour 36 minutes) for the trains to meet
