Recall your d = rt, distance = rate * time.

let's say the Eastbound train is going at a rate of "r" mph, since we know the Westbound train is going faster 12 miles more than that, then the Westbound train must be going "r+12".

we also know that after 4 hours, both of them were 760 miles apart, so

\bf \begin{array}{lccclll}
&\stackrel{miles}{distance}&\stackrel{mph}{rate}&\stackrel{hours}{time}\\
&------&------&------\\
Westbound&760&r+12&4\\
Eastbound&760&r&4
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\begin{cases}
760=(r+12)(4)\implies 190=r+12\\
760=4r\implies 190=r
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
\textit{since we know that r = 190, then }\qquad \stackrel{Westbound}{190+12}

Jones covered a distance of 50 miles on his first trip. On a later trip he traveled 300 miles while going three times as fast. H
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer is b. But you asked for the thought process so...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let speed of the 1st trip x miles / hr. and speed of the 2nd trip 3x / hr.

We know that

Speed = Distance/Time.

Or, Time = Distance/Speed.

So, the time taken to cover a distance of 50 miles on his first trip = 50/x hr.

And the time taken to cover a distance of 300 miles on his later trip = 300/3x hr.

= 100/x hr.

So we can clearly see that his new time compared with the old time was: twice as much.

Have a great day :)
