Two trains departed from one station simultaneously in opposite directions. their speed is 60 km and 80 km. what distance did each train go when the distance between them is 420 km

1. We find how many kilometers in one hour the train tracks moved away from each other, if it is said that the 1st train goes at a speed of 60 km / h, and the 2nd – 80 km / h.

60 + 80 = 140 kilometers.

2. Let’s determine how many hours they have been on the road, if it is said that their path is 420 kilometers.

420/140 = 3 hours.

3. Find the route of the 1st train.

60 * 3 = 180 kilometers.

4. Calculate the distance traveled by the second.

80 * 3 = 240 kilometers.

Answer: 180 and 240 kilometers.
