Let s = northbound train
Then
2s = southbound train
:
Distance = time * speed
4s + 4(2s) = 600
:
4s + 8s = 600
:
12s = 600
:
s = 600/12
:
s = 50 mph is the northbound train
Then
2(50) = 100 mph is the southbound train
:
:
Check:
4(50) + 4(100) = 600

X + 2x = 600/4
x = 50
so one train is traveling 50 miles per hour
and the other is 100 miles per hour

Nathan has a collection of 220 baseball cards. He lets his brother 1/4 of his collection and sells 20% of his collection to the
tatyana61 [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

The baseball cards remain in Nathan’s collection is 106 cards

<u>Explanation:</u>

Total number of cards Nathan has= 220

Number of cards he let his brother have = 1/4 of his collection

=\frac{1}{4} \times 220 = 55 cards

Number of cards he sells = 20% of his collection

=\frac{20}{100} \times 220

=44 cards

No of cards he gives to his friends=15 cards

Remaining cards = total number of cards – (no of cards he gave to his brother+ cards he sold+ cards he gave to this friends)

= 220 – ( 55+44+15)

=220-114

=106 cards

baseball cards remain in Nathan’s collection is 106 cards
