Problema Solution
The speed of a passenger train is 16 mph faster than the speed of a frieght train. The passenger train travels 300 miles in the same time it takes the frieght to travel 220 miles. Find the speed of each train.
Answer provided by our tutors
let the speed of frieght train=x
speed of passanger=16+x
time=distance/speed
300/(16+x)=220/x
300x=220x+3520
80x=3520
x=44
16+x=60
