Train A, traveling 70 kilometers per hour (Kph), leaves West heading toward East, 260 miles away. At the same time Train B, traveling 60 mph, leaves East heading toward West.
I. When do the Two trains meet?
II. How far from each city do they meet?
Let x = the number of hours the 2 trains meet after leaving point of origin
x(70+60)= 260
x = 260/130
x = 2
Let d = distance from west where the 2 trains will meet
260-d = distance from east where the 2 trains will meet
d = 70(2)
d = 140 miles(distance from west)
260-d = 260-140 = 120 miles (distance from east)
Answer:
I. The two trains will meet after 2 hours
II. They meet 140 miles from West and 120 miles from East
