Question 196292
Two trains leave the station at the same time going in opposite directions. One train is going 72 km/hr and the other is going 68 km/hr. After how long will
the trains be 560 km apart?
.
Apply the distance formula: d = rt
.
Let x = time traveled in hours
then
72x + 68x = 560
140x = 560
x = 4 hours
