Problema Solution
A freight train leaves the train station 2 hours before a passenger train/ The two trains are traveling in the same direction on parallel tracks. If the rate of the passenger train is 40mph faster than the freight train, how fast is each train traveling if the passenger train passes the freight train in 3 hours?
Answer provided by our tutors
speed of freight trtain is xmph and passenger train is y mph
y -x = 40
distant traveeled by freight train in 5 hrs = distant by pass train in 3 hrs
5x = 3y
5 (y- 40) = 3y
2y = 200
y = 100
x =60
