Let h equal the time that the B to A train traveled.
A to B______________80______________(1/2)+h_____________(___)
B to A______________100_____________(h)_________________(___)
TOTAL___________________________________________________220
Use R*T=D to find expressions for each distance.
A to B______________80______________(1/2)+h_____________80(h+1/2)
B to A______________100_____________(h)_________________100h
TOTAL___________________________________________________220
EQUATION: .
Solve for h.
-
80h+40+100h=220
8h+10h+4=22
18h+4=22
18h=18
hour, the B to A train.
