Question 116945: A passenger train traveling due west at 40km/h passes a freight train traveling due east at 90km/h. How long after they pass each other will the trains be 325km apart?
My calculation is the distance travelled by both trains are 325 Km.
The time = x.
Therefore,
325 - 40x = 90x
x=2.5 or 2.5 hours, so after 2.5 hours they will be 325 km apart. Is this correct? Answer by ganesh(20) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Your assumptions and the method of solving are correct. And, the answer, x = 2.5 hours is correct. Congrats!!!
