<PRE><B>Question 1043845</B>
two passenger trains A and b ,300km apart start towards each other at the same time.they meet after 2 hours .if train B travels 8/7 as fast as train A.What is the speed of each train 
-----
slower train DATA::
rate = x km/h ; time = 2 hrs ; distance = 2x km
--------------------
faster train DATA:
rate = (8/7)x km/h ; time = 2 hrs ; distance = 2(8/7)x = (16/7)x km
=======
Equation:
dist + dist = 300 km
2x + (16/7)x = 300
----
(30/7)x = 300
x = 70 km/h (slower train speed)
(8/7)x  = 80 km/h (faster train speed)
==============
Cheers,
Stan H.
