Question 574714: at 3:25 pm 2 trains left the station. one traveled west at a constant speed of 88 mph the other traveled east at a constant speed of 66 mph. If they are now 111 miles apart what time is is now? write and solve an equation (or system of equations) to answer this question. Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's write an equation in terms of distance. Distance is rate times time, so we know that 88t+66t=111. We therefore get t=0.720779 hours (or 43.2468 minutes), so it must be about 4:08.
