Answer:

!0.00...........360 km..........................

.........>........................................<......11.30

55km/h                               130 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

in a one and a half hour the distance between the train will be

360- 55*1,5=277.5 km

in an hour the distance between the trains is less with 55+130=185 km

to meet the trains , the distance between them should be zero

277.5 - 185*x=0

+185 x             +185 x

277.5=185x

x=277.5/185 hours

x= 1.5 hours  after 11.30

They meet at 13.00

the distance will be   55*3 =165 km from the station A
