A plane averaging 120 mi/h and an express train averaging 60 mi/h depart at the same time from the same city headed for the same destination.If the train arrives 45 min later than the plane, how far did they each travel?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plane DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 120 mph ; time = x hrs ; distance = 120x miles
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 60 mph ; time = x+(3/4) hrs ; distance = 60(x+(3/4) = 60x+45 miles
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "120x = 60x+45
\n" ); document.write( "60x = 45
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3/4 hr
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Distance = 120x = 120(3/4) = 90 miles
