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 60 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 3:10 A.M. If train B passes the same station at 3:22 A.M, at what time will train B catch up to train A?
\n" ); document.write( "**
\n" ); document.write( "From the station, Train B must make up the 12 minutes he is behind Train A to catch up with Train A.
\n" ); document.write( "Both trains cover the same distance:
\n" ); document.write( "let x=distance both trains will have traveled when Train B catches up with Train A.
\n" ); document.write( "Travel time=distance/speed
\n" ); document.write( "Travel time of Train A-Travel time of Train B=12 minutes=12/60 hr
\n" ); document.write( "x/40-x/60=12/60
\n" ); document.write( "multiply by LCD:120
\n" ); document.write( "3x-2x=24
\n" ); document.write( "x=24 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Travel time of train B =24/60=2/5 hrs=24 min
\n" ); document.write( "ans:
\n" ); document.write( "Train B catches up with Train A at 3.22+24 min=3.46 A.M. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
