Two trains left a station at the same time. Train A traveled north at a certain speed and train B traveled south
at twice that speed. After 4 hours, the trains were 600 miles apart. How fast was each train traveling?
Train A was traveling
mph... (hint... this is the slower train)
Train B was traveling
mph.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Train 1 speed be 'u'

Train 2 speed be 'v'

And v=2u

Speed=distance/time

Trains going in opposite directions

Relative speed= v-u (as train 1 I slower than train 2)

v-u=600/4

2u-u=150

u=150miles/hour

v=300miles/hour
