From two stations, the distance between which is 30 km, two trains depart simultaneously in opposite directions
From two stations, the distance between which is 30 km, two trains depart simultaneously in opposite directions, moving away from each other. one goes at a speed of 55 km / h, the other at 70 km / h. What is the distance between them: a) after 1 hour; b) after 3 hours.
The solution of the problem:
1. To solve the problem, we find the speed of removal of two trains in one hour.
55 + 70 = 125 kilometers.
2. Find out what the distance will be between trains in an hour.
30 + 125 = 155 kilometers.
3. Find how many kilometers the trains will pass in 3 hours.
125 * 3 = 375 kilometers.
4. Let’s calculate how many kilometers will be between trains in 3 hours.
375 + 30 = 405 kilometers.
Answer: In an hour the distance between trains will be one hundred and fifty-five kilometers, and in three hours four hundred and five kilometers.
