Two trains leave towns 664 miles apart at the same time and travel toward each other. One train travels 16 mih faster than the other. If they meet in 4 hours, what is the rate of each train?

Sagot :

If the trains meet in 4 hours then the speed of the trains is 150 miles per hour and the speed of second train be 166 miles per hour.

Given the distance between trains be 664 miles and the speed of one train is 16 miles more than the other train.

We are required to find the speed of both the trains.

Speed is basically the distance that a thing covers in a particular time period.

Speed=Distance/Time

let the speed of first train be x miles per hour.

According to question the speed of the second train be (x+16) miles per hour.

Taking first train:

Speed =Distance/Time

x=664/4

=166

Taking second train:

Speed=Distance/Time

x+16=664/4

x+16=166

x=150

Hence if the trains meet in 4 hours then the speed of the trains is 150 miles per hour and the speed of second train be 166 miles per hour.
