There's a train going 165 mph and you are going 54 miles per hour, you intersect in 10 miles but then it starts to rain and slows the train by 5 miles.
\n" ); document.write( " Then the wind picks up and you go 1 mile slower... how much should you speed up to miss the train?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find what is happening before the wind and rain:
\n" ); document.write( "You are 10/54 * 60 = 11.111 min from intersecting
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the trains dist at this time
\n" ); document.write( "11.111/60 * 165 = 30.555 mi from the intersection
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Train 5 mph slower: 30.555/160 * 60 = 11.458 min from intersection
\n" ); document.write( "Car 1 mph slower: 10/53 * 60 = 11.32 min; cutting it pretty close
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "To miss the train by about half a minute speed back up to 54 mph
\n" ); document.write( "11.458-11.111 = .347 min or a comfortable .347(60) = 21 seconds before the train arrives. \r
