At 2:00 P.M. a train A leaves a station traveling at 100 mi/hr. At 4:30 P.M. train B leaves the station on a parallel route and traveling at 150 mi/hr. How far away from the station will the second train overtake the first train?
Train A has a 2 1/2 hour head start 2 1/2 hr x 100 mph = 250 m head start
Train B travels (150 - 100) m/hr = 50 m/hr faster
Start by finding how long it will take train B to cover the 250 mile gap at 50 m/hr
now you will know how long train B has been travelling when it catches train A
then rate x time = distance from station
150 m/r x time = distance
You should at LEAST try to solve ALL of these before postin all of your homework.....If you cannot even attemp them, you are in a clas too far advanced for your knowledge level and should be getting some remedial education.....
