Two trains moved to meet each other within 5 hours. One at a speed of 60 km / h, and the second at a speed of 90 km / h.

Two trains moved to meet each other within 5 hours. One at a speed of 60 km / h, and the second at a speed of 90 km / h. What was the distance between them initially.

Let’s find the distance traveled by the train, the speed of which was 60 km / h. To find the path, we multiply the train speed by the time – 5 hours:
60 km / h * 5 hours = 300 km.
The path of the first train is 300 km.
Find the distance traveled by the train, the speed of which was 90 km / h. To find the path, we multiply the train speed by the time – 5 hours:
90 km / h * 5 hours = 450 km.
The route of the second train is 450 km.
Let’s add their paths:
300 km + 450 km = 750 km.
Answer: the distance between trains was originally 750 km.
