Question 266957: between reno and battle moutain nevada on interstate 80e it took me 2 min to
pass a westbound train doing 50 mph while i was doing 70 mph. how long was the train (to the nearest tenth mile)? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It took me 2 min to pass a westbound train doing 50 mph while I was doing 70 mph.
How long was the train (to the nearest tenth mile)?
:
Using the relative speed of you and the train, 70 - 50 = 20 mph
:
How far would you travel in two min at 20 mph? * 20 = .666 ~ .7 of a mile
