Systems-of-equations/266368: Trains A and B are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. Train A is traveling at 100 miles per hour and Train B is traveling at 110 miles per hour. Train A passes a station at 10:15 A.M. If train B passes the same station at 10:27 A.M., at what time will train B catch up to train A? I know the equation is 100t = 110(t - something) I know there is 12 minutes difference, but I do not know how to put 12 minutes in a decimal form. Could someone please help me with this, I would appreciate it very much. 1 solutions Answer 195706 by checkley77(12569)   on 2010-02-06 18:06:17 (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website! 100t=110(t-12/60) 100t=110(t-1/5) 100t=110t-22 100t-110t=-22 -10t=-22 t=-22/-10 t=2.2 hours after train A leaves the station they will meet.
