Question 925619: A train leaves station Y and travels west at 75kph. Two hours later, a second train leaves the same station on a parallel track and travels west at 125 kph. How far from the station will they meet? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Distances will be the same the faster train catches the slower one
t the time for the slower train
75kph(t) = 125kph(t-1)
125 = 50t
2.5hr = t, the time for the slower train
..........
How far from station M will the faster train catch the slower one?
Distance traveled: 75kph(2.5hr) = 187.5mi
