Question

Eastbound travels at 95 miles per hour the westbound train travels at 105 miles per hour .how long will it take for the two trains to be 480 miles apart

Answer 1

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear equation, it goes as follows:

$105(x) - 95(x) = 480$

x stands for hours.

Solving for x yields 10.

Keep in mind that 105 and 95 are miles per hour where 480 is miles. So multiplying $(\frac{miles}{hours}) (hours)$ gives off hours which is what we are looking for.

Hope this helps.
