Question 925630: A train leaves station M and travels west at 35 kph. One hour later, faster train leaves station M and also travels west on a parallel track at 40 kph. How far from station M will the faster train catch the slower one? 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
35kph(t) = 40kph(t-1)
40 = 5t
8hr = t, the time for the slower train
..........
How far from station M will the faster train catch the slower one?
Distance traveled: 35kph(8hr) = 280mi
