In what time do two trains pass each other in this issue?

Two trains cross each other. The first train is 200m long and travels at 108 km/h. The second train is 150m long and travels at 72 km/h. What time elapses between the moment when the two fronts of the trains cross and the moment when the two rears of the trains cross? How do you calculate the answer to this question?

I answered the same question last week. On the website you can click on ‘recent questions’. Normally you should also have received an email about this.
