Let the slower train's velocity be x-21

Let the faster train's velocity be x

We know that the approach speed is the sum of both speeds, so x+x -21= 2x-21.

The approach rate is given by Distance/time = 471/3 = 157mpH

x+x-21=157

2x=157+21

2x=178

x=89mph

The slower train is travelling 89-21 = 68mph

The faster train is travelling 89mph.

Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{40}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf{50 \: \% \: of \: 80}

To convert the percent into a fraction , divide it by 190 and remove the % symbol. Then , Simplify the fraction to its lowest term.

⇒\sf{ \frac{50}{100}  \times 80}

⇒\sf{ \frac{1}{2}  \times 80}

Divide 80 by 2

⇒\sf{40}

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

An easy way to do this is to write each in decimal form

2/3 = .666666......

2/5 = .4

7/8 = .875

.75

1/10 = .10
