Answer:
4.6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
we first need to calculate the total distance he covered and total time taken whole for the journey.
Distance= speed X time
time = Distance/speed
let the total distance be X. he covers 2/5 if the journey first.
2/5 = 0.4
Time = 0.4x/45 hours
the remaining journey is 3/5x
he covers 1/3 X 3/5= 0.2x
time taken = 0.2/90 X hours
the remaining distance = 100× 1.2 = 120km
we add 0.4x + 0.2x to get the fraction he had covered
0.6x.
the remaining distance was X - 0.6x = 0.4 X
thus 120 km represents 0.4x of the journey
we calculate now the value of X
0.4x = 120
X = 300km
Total time taken = 0.4x/45 + 0.2/90 + 1.2 hours
replace X to get time
2.7 hours + 0.7 hours + 1.2 hours
= 4.6 hours
95x=85x+288
You could add 288 to any side, it just shows that they're 288 miles apart.
Let's subtract 85x from both sides.
10x=288
28.8=x
It'll take 28.8 hours for the trains to meet. Let's make sure.
28.8×95
2,736
28.8×85
2,448
2,736-2,448
288
So, they'll meet up after 28.8 miles.
3/2x - 4 = 16
Add 4 to both sides.
3/2x = 20
Multiply by 2/3.
x = 13 1/3
1/40 would be your answer because 0.025 is would be 25/1000. Simplify that then you would get 1/40.
