Answer:

  • A: 160 mph
  • B: 140 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in distance traveled is 40 miles, so each train must have traveled 2 hours.

Train A speed = (320 mi)/(2 h) = 160 mi/h

Train B speed = (280 mi)/(2 h) = 140 mi/h

_____

The difference in speed means Train A gains on Train B by 20 miles each hour. After 2 hours, it will have gone 40 miles farther.
