Let x= express train time
\n" ); document.write( "Let o=ordinary train time
\n" ); document.write( "x=3/5*o=.6o
\n" ); document.write( "x=5.5
\n" ); document.write( "3/5o=5 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "6/10o=55/10
\n" ); document.write( "6o=55
\n" ); document.write( "o=55/6\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
