\n" ); document.write( "on a parallel track in the same direction at 7 30 pm at 144 km/h.
\n" ); document.write( "After how many hours\"highlight%28x%29\" will train B cross train A?
\n" ); document.write( " D = rt
\n" ); document.write( " Distance = Distance
\n" ); document.write( " \"144kmh%2Ax+=+120kmph%2A%28x%2B2.5hr%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "solving for x
\n" ); document.write( " x = \"120%2A2.5%2F24\" \n" ); document.write( "
