Train A and train B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks.
\n" ); document.write( " train A is traveling at 80 miles per hour and train B is traveling at 96 miles
\n" ); document.write( " per hour train A passes a station at 10:20pm if train B passes the same station
\n" ); document.write( " at 10:35pm what time will train B catch up to train A?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "from the given information, we know that train B is 15 min (1/4 hr) behind
\n" ); document.write( " train A, when train A passes the station
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The distance between the trains at this time: \"1%2F4\" * 96 = 24 mi
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let t = time required for train B to catch train a
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "write a distance equation: Dist = speed * time
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Train A travel dist = Train b travel dist + 24 mi
\n" ); document.write( "96t = 80t + 24
\n" ); document.write( "96t - 80t = 24
\n" ); document.write( "16t = 24
\n" ); document.write( "t = \"24%2F16\"
\n" ); document.write( "t = 1.5 hr or 1 hr 30 min
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "10:20 + 1:30 = 11:50 pm, B catches A \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
