Answer:

The maximum distance to the nearest kilometer between Westford and Centerville is 111.43 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Local train stats:

Rate = 60 km/h

Distance = x km

Time = x/60 hours

Express train stats:

Rate = 80 km/h

Distance = (195-x) km

Time = (195-x)/80 hours

Now we will equate both the times.

x/60 =(195-x)/80

x/3= (195-x)/4

4x= 585-3x

7x= 585

x = 83.57 km

195-x=195-83.57= 111.43 km

Hence, the maximum distance to the nearest kilometer between Westford and Centerville is 111.43 km.
