Question 713920
A train is 300 meters long. A tunnel is 2900 meters long. The train travels at 600 meters/minute speed. How long is the time between the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel and the moment the end of the train exits the tunnel?
:
The total travel distance where the train and tunnel are together is:
300 + 2900 = 3200 meters
:
Find the time using a time equation: time = dist/speed
{{{3200/600}}} = 5{{{1/3}}} minutes or 5 min 20 seconds
