You can put this solution on YOUR website! A train traveling 48km/h takes 2h longer than the ship traveling 60km/h to reach a given distance.What is the distance ?
------------------------
Train DATA:
rate = 48 km/h ; time = x+2 hrs ; distance = 48(x+2) km
-------
Ship DATA:
rate = 60 km/h ; time = x hrs ; distance = 60x km
----------
Equation:
48(x+2) = 60x
48x+96 = 60x
12x = 96
x = 8 hrs
----
Distance = 60x = 480 km.
