<PRE><B>Question 989231</B>
A train leaves the station at noon. The train is 180 miles from its destination at 12:45 P.M and 90 miles from it&#39;s destination at 2:15 P.M.
Write an equation and solve for each.
----
Note:: The train traveled 90 miles in 1 1/2 hours
rate = dist/time = 90/(3/2) = 60 mph
----------- 
1. How far is the station from the destination?
90 miles at 2:15
-------------------- 
2. At what time will the train reach its destination?
In 1 1/2 hours it goes 90 miles.
So, arrival time should be 2:15 + 90 min 3:45 PM
