<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

Answer:

  • xy / (3x + 3y)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find b first:</u>

  • b = 3/x + 3/y
  • b = (3x + 3y)/xy

<u>Find 1/b:</u>

  • 1/b = 1 : (3x + 3y)/xy
