Question 458895: A passengers train's speed is 60 mi/h, and a freight trains speed is 40 mi/h. The passenger train travels the same distance in 1.5 hours less time than the freight train. How long does each train take to make the trip? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60(x-1.5)=40x
60x-90=40x
20x=90
x=4.5 hrs freight
x-1.5=3 hrs. passenger
check
60*3=40*4.5
180=180
ok
