A train traveling at 60km/hr has 100km to go and a car traveling at 90km has 150km to go. Who arrives first ?



The train and the car will arrive at the same time.
It will take the train 1 hour 40 minutes to travel 100km.
100 - 60 = 40km
60/60 = 1 km per minute.
So the 40km will take 40 minutes.
It will take the car 1 hour 40 minutes to travel 150km.
