Question

At the same moment, two trains leave Chicago and New York. They move towards one another at constant speeds. The train from Chicago is moving at a speed of 40 mph, and the train from New York is moving at a speed of 60 mph. The distance between Chicago and New York is 1000 miles. How long will it take for them to meet?

Answer 1

Answer:

time = time

x/40 = (1000-x)/60

60x = 40000-40x

100x = 40000

x = 400 miles (distance for the 40 mph train)

---

time = d/r = 400/40 = 10 hrs
