A freight train leaves a station at 4:00p.m. traveling at 30 kilometers per hour. A passenger train leaves 1 hour later, traveling at 50 kilometers per hour. At what time will the passenger train overtake the freight train?
\n" ); document.write( "Equation & answer please. Thanks!
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Freight DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 30 kph ; time = t hrs ; distance = 30t km
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Passenger DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = 50 kph ; time = t-1 hrs ; distance = 50(t-1) km
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "distance = distance
\n" ); document.write( "30t = 50(t-1)
\n" ); document.write( "30t = 50t-50
\n" ); document.write( "20t = 50
\n" ); document.write( "time = 2.5 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: 4:00PM + 2.5 hrs = 6:30PM
