Question 694538: two trains traveling on parallel tracks leave Tucson at the same time. In 6 hours the faster train is 382 mile from Tucson and the trains are 112 miles apart. Find how fast each train is traveling. Answer by Ave(106) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Faster train went 382 miles in 6 hours. use distance=rate*time to find r(rate or mph)
d=rt
382=6r divide both sides by 6
63.6666=r round
* 63.7 mph for faster train
Slower train was 112 miles behind the faster train. So 382 minus 112 miles for distance, in 6 hours. do the same thing
d=rt
382-112=6r
270=6r
45=r
* 45 mph for slower train
