A train travelling at 40 kph leaves station at 7 am. An hour later, a car leaves the same station and chases the train. If the car travels at 80 kph, how lang will it take the car to overtake the train? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Gaining speed 80 -40= 40 mph
Headstart 40*1 =40 miles
Time to catch up 40/40=1 hours
Algebraic solution
40(t+1)=80t
40t+40=80t
40=80t-40t
40=40t
t=1 hours
Distance to meeting 1*80=80 miles
