Answer:

The trains will be 435 miles apart

Explanation:

Distance covered by the two trains can be obtained by multiplying their speeds with the time frame under consideration - in this our case, it is  3hours.

For Train A

Distance covered = 80mph X 3 hours = 240miles

For train B

Distance covered = 65mph X 3 hours = 195 miles.

The total distance between the two trains after 3 hours will be

240 + 195 = 435 miles
