at 1:30 in the afternoon an old freight train and a new dart express train pull out of the new garland station going in opposite

nydimaria [60]

Solution: The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.

Explanation:

Let the speed of old freight train is x miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is y miles per minute.

It is given that the speed of the dart express train is three times faster than the freight train. So, it can be written as,

$3x=y$ ....(1)

The trains are moving towards the opposite directions, therefore the distance between them is increased at the speed of $(x+y)$ miles per minute.

$Distance=Speed\times Time$

The distance between both train in 15 minutes is represented by $15(x+y)$ .

According to the given information the distance between trains is 30 miles in 15 minutes.

$15(x+y)=30$

$x+y=2$

Use equation (1) and put $y=3x$

$x+3x=2$

$4x=2$

$x=0.5$

Put this value in equation (1), to find the value of y.

$y=3(0.5)$

$y=1.5$

Therefore, the The speed of old freight train is 0.5 miles per minute and the speed of new dart express train is 1.5 miles per minute.
