two passenger trains A and b ,300km apart start towards each other at the same time.they meet after 2 hours .if train B travels 8/7 as fast as train A.What is the speed of each train
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "slower train DATA::
\n" ); document.write( "rate = x km/h ; time = 2 hrs ; distance = 2x km
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "faster train DATA:
\n" ); document.write( "rate = (8/7)x km/h ; time = 2 hrs ; distance = 2(8/7)x = (16/7)x km
\n" ); document.write( "=======
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "dist + dist = 300 km
\n" ); document.write( "2x + (16/7)x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "(30/7)x = 300
\n" ); document.write( "x = 70 km/h (slower train speed)
\n" ); document.write( "(8/7)x = 80 km/h (faster train speed)
\n" ); document.write( "==============
