Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Two trains traveling at 80 and 60mph respectively.
\n" ); document.write( "80:60 = 4:3
\n" ); document.write( "4 + 3 = 7
\n" ); document.write( "4/7 x 196 = 112 miles
\n" ); document.write( "3/7 x 196 = 84 miles
\n" ); document.write( "Time = Distance/Speed
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 112/80 = 1.4 hours
\n" ); document.write( "Time = 84/60 = 1.4 hours
\n" ); document.write( "It will take 1 hour 24 minutes
\n" ); document.write( "for the trains to be 196 miles apart.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
