Question

A diesel train left Bangalore and traveled west at an average speed

of 59 km/h. A freight train left at the same time and traveled in the
opposite direction with an average speed of 67 km/h. Find the number of
hours the freight train needs to travel before the trains are 1008 km
apart.

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

we'll make x the number of hours and set up the following equation:

59km x + 67km x = 1008km

Now we solve for x(hours)

126x = 1008

x = 8
