Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 40 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 50 miles per hour.
\n" ); document.write( "Train A passes a station at 2:20 pm. If Train B passes the same station at 2:32 pm, at what time will Train B catch up to train A?
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Train A DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 40 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 40x miles
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Train B DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "Rate = 50 mph ; time = x-(1/5) hrs ; distance = 50[x-(1/5)]
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "distance A = distance B
\n" ); document.write( "40x = 50x - 10
\n" ); document.write( "-10x = -10
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 5/3
\n" ); document.write( "x = 1 hr.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Distance will be the same at 2:20 + 1 hr = 3:20
\n" ); document.write( "==============
