Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 100 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 104 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 11:10AM. If train B passes the same station at 11:40AM, at what time will train B catch up to train
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Determine how far from train A is train B
\n" ); document.write( "From the given times, we know that Train B is 30 min from the station at 11:10 AM
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "104 * .5 = 52 miles
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time from 11:10 that train B catches train A
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( "104t = 100t + 52
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "104t - 100t = 52
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "4t = 52
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"52%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 13 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "From 11:10 Am, 13 hrs would be 00:10 AM \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
