Question

Two trains leave a city at 3 P.M. One train goes east at a constant rate of 70 mph. The other goes west at a rate of 62 mph. How long will it take the trains to be 528 mi. apart?plzzz help me

Answer 1

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for distance, rate and time is:

d = rt, where distance is the product of rate multiplied by time

Given that one train is moving at a rate of 70 mph and one is moving at a rate of 62 mph in the opposite direction, the combined distance over time is equal to 528 miles.  Using the variable 't' for time:

70t + 62t = 528

Combine like terms: 132t = 528

Divide both sides by 132: 132t/132 = 528/132  or t = 4 hours

Answer 2

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

do: 62t + 70t = 528

132t = 528

t = 528 / 132

t = 4
