Question 873119: A train traveling at 40 mph leaves for a certain town. One hour later, a bus
traveling at 50 mph leaves for the same town and arrives at
the same time as the train. If both the train and the bus travel in a straight line, how far is the town from where they started? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! let train take time t-----------40 mph
bus takes (t-1)-----------------50 mph
distance same
40t=50(t-1)
40t=50t-50
10t=50
t=5
Distance = 5*40 = 200 miles
