The passenger train averages 96 km/h while the freight train averages 64 km/h. How far is it from Central City to Clear Creek? Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let t be the distance
96(t-2)=64t
96t-192=64t
-32t=-192
t=6
Therefore the distance is 6km or 6miles
