Question 283914: It takes a train the same time to travel 450km as it takes a bus to travel 300km. If the bus is traveling 30km/h slower than the train, find the rate at which each is traveling Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Let represent the rate of the train. Then is the rate of the bus. Since distance equals rate times time, time must equal distance divided by rate. Since the time is the same ("...it takes a train the same time...") we can say:
