Two trains departed simultaneously from one station in opposite directions at a speed of 114 km / h and 108 km / h. The first of them covered 684 km. At what distance from each other at that moment were the trains?
1. Let’s calculate how much time it took the train to travel 684 kilometers, if it is said that it was traveling at a speed of 114 kilometers per hour.
684/114 = 6 hours.
2. Let us determine the distance that the second train traveled in 6 hours, if it is said that its speed was 108 kilometers per hour.
108 * 6 = 648 kilometers.
3. Find out what the distance will be between trains 6 hours after the start of movement.
684 + 648 = 1332 kilometers.
Answer: At that moment, the trains were at a distance of 1332 kilometers.
