Two trains in opposite direction pass each other on parallel tracks. One train averages at most 80 km/h, and the other averages at most 65km/h. What is the least possible time that it could take for the two trains to be 290 km apart.
\n" ); document.write( "----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the time needed for them to be 290 km apart.
\n" ); document.write( "1st train goes =<80x km
\n" ); document.write( "2nd train goes =<65x km
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "INEQUALITY:
\n" ); document.write( "80x+65x=<290 km
\n" ); document.write( "145x =< 290 km
\n" ); document.write( "x =< 2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 hrs
\n" ); document.write( "===============
