You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The second train's speed is 400km/5hours = 80 km/h
\n" ); document.write( "\"x\"= speed of first train in km/h
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F80=7%2F8\" --> \"x=80%287%2F8%29\" --> \"x=80%2A7%2F8\" --> \"highlight%28x=70%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "The speed of the first train is 70 kilometers per hour.
