Answer 1

ANSWER: 5 minutes 20 seconds

WORK: entire train to get out of tunnel - 2900+300 = 3200 meters till it's out

at 600 meters per minute ...3200/600 = 5 1/3 = 1/3 of a minutes is 20 seconds

Hope this helps brainliest and rate/thanks helps!

Answer 2

The total travel distance where the train and tunnel are together is:

300 + 2900 = 3200 meters

Find the time using a time equation:
time = distance/speed

3200/600 = 5 1/3 minutes or 5 min 20 seconds
