if train train covers a distance between A and B in 45 minutes.
\n" ); document.write( " if the speed of the train is reduced by 5 km it will reach in 48 minutes...
\n" ); document.write( " what is the distance between A and B
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the speed first
\n" ); document.write( "let s = original speed
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(s-5) = slower speed
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since we using km/hr, change 45 min to .75 hrs and 48 min to .8 hrs
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Write a distance equation dist = time * speed
\n" ); document.write( ".8(s-5) = .75s
\n" ); document.write( ".8s - 4 = .75s
\n" ); document.write( ".8s - .75s = 4
\n" ); document.write( ".05s = 4
\n" ); document.write( "s = 4/.05
\n" ); document.write( "s = 80 km/hr
\n" ); document.write( "Find the distance
\n" ); document.write( ".75 * 80 = 60 km is the distance from A to B
\n" ); document.write( "check the distance
\n" ); document.write( ".8 * 75 = 60 km \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
