Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks.
\n" ); document.write( " Train A is traveling at 60 miles an hour and train B is traveling at 64 miles an hour.
\n" ); document.write( " Train A passes a station at 12:20 a.m.
\n" ); document.write( " If train B passes the same station at 12:50 a.m., at 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 half hour behind A at 12:20 am
\n" ); document.write( "therefore Train B is:
\n" ); document.write( ".5 * 64 = 32 miles behind Train A at that time.
\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 B dist = Train A dist + 32 mi
\n" ); document.write( "64t = 60t + 32
\n" ); document.write( "64t - 60t = 32
\n" ); document.write( "4t = 32
\n" ); document.write( "t = 32/4
\n" ); document.write( "t = 8 hrs for B to catch A
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "12:20 + 8 = 8:20 am for B to catch A
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
