Question 452377: Train "A" is 5 hours away from town "B" by train. Trains leave "A" every hour on the hour headed for "B". Trains leave "B" every hour on the half hour headed for "A". As you ride from "A" to "B" how many trains bound from "B" to "A" would pass? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose A leaves the station at 12:00. It would pass B trains that left at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, and 4:30 before it arrived at town B at 5:00. Thus it would pass 5 trains going the other way before it arrived at town B..
