Two freight trains left the two cities at the same time to meet each other.

Two freight trains left the two cities at the same time to meet each other. The speed of the first train is 46 km / h, the speed of the second is 49 / h. The trains met after 6 hours. Find the distance between cities.

Since the trains left at the same time and were traveling towards each other, the distance between the cities will be equal to the sum of the distances that each of the trains traveled before meeting each other.

If they met after 6 hours, then to find the distance, you need to multiply the speed of each train by the time (6 hours).

The first train passed:

6 * 46 = 276 km,

and the second train passed:

6 * 49 = 294 km.

So the distance between cities is equal to:

276 + 294 = 570 km.

Answer: 570 km.
