Question

Trains Two trains, Train A and Train B, weigh a total of 192 tons. Train A is heavier than Train B. The

difference of their weights is 120 tons. What is the weight of each train?​

Answer 1

Hi there!

So we know that the two train together is a total of 192 tons and the difference of their weights is 120 tons...

Ok let think...

When we’re looking at the once place, you’ll see a two... this means that the two train both have a ending of 1 since 2 is split into 1...

That would be another clue..

Now let think again...

If it would be 151 and we subtract by 120.. we would get...

`151-120=31`

Well it ends with a 1 so it would be perfect but we have to see if 151 and 31 together adds up with the total of 192..

`151+31=192`

This means that train A could be 151 tons or 31 tons and train B can also be wither 151 tons or 31 tons...
