Let the speed of second train = x mph

Speed of first train = (x+9.2) mph

The sum of the speeds is 720.8 mph

x + (x + 9.2) = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x + 9.2 = 720.8 \\ \\ 2x = 720.8 - 9.2 \\ \\ 2x = 711.6 \\ \\ x = \frac{711.6}{2} \\ \\ \underline{x = 355.8 \: mph}

\underline{x + 9.2 = 355.8 + 9.2 = 365 \: mph}

\textbf{\red{Speed of first train = 365 mph}} \\ \\ \textbf{\red{Speed of second train = 355.8 mph}}

Sum and difference problem.

Speed of faster train = (Sum+difference)/2=(720.8+9.2)/2=365 mph

Speed of slower train = (Sum-difference)/2=(720.8-9.2)/2=355.8 mph

(ANSWER FOR FREE BRAINPOINTS!) (FIRST TO ANSWER GETS BAINLIEST) The local park has a rectangular swimming pool that measures 40
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

9 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both pools are similar, therefore the ratio of their length and width would be equal. That is:

Length of the current swimming pool : length of the new swimming pool = width of the current swimming pool : width of the new swimming pool

Thus, we can set up a proportion as shown below:

Let the width of the new swimming pool be x.

40 : 24 = 15 : x

\frac{40}{24} = \frac{15}{x}

Cross multiply

40*x = 15*24

40x = 360

Divide both sides by 40

x = \frac{360}{40}

x = 9

The width of the new swimming that is smaller would be 9 yards.
