Two trains leave towns 1250 km apart at the same time and travel toward each other. one train travels 10 km/hr slower than the other. if they meet in 5 hours, what is the rate of each train?
Here are the rates of the trains: (n represents train A's speed) A: n B: n + 10 We know it is 5 hours, and total distance, so: 5(n) + 5(n + 10) = 1250 5n + 5n + 50 = 1250 10n = 1200 Divide: n = 120 One train goes 120, the other goes 130
