Question 583594: a train can travel 80 miles in the same time it takes a car to travel 30 miles. if the train is traveling at a rate of 75 miles per hour faster than the car, how fast is each traveling? Answer by JBarnum(2146) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! t=train c=car
t=2.6666c
this is from 80/30=2.6666
this is saying that the train travels 2.6666 times more miles than the car
and t=75+c
this says the train is 75 mph more than the car
75+c=2.6666c
75=1.6666c
45.0018=c
45=c (45mph)
45+75=120
120=t (120mph)
