Two trains leave Raleigh at the same time one traveling north and the other south the first train travels at 50 miles per hour and the second at 60 miles per hour in how many hours will the trains be in 275 miles apart

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

for train one

speed= 50miles per hour

for train two

speed= 60miles per hour

the total distance between both trains=275miles

Step two:

the expression for speed= distance/time

so that, distance= speed*time

let the time be t

we are going to combine both distances

train one distance =50t

train two distance =60t

Hence total distance

50t+60t=275

110t=1=275

t=275/110

t=2.5 hours

It will take 2.5 hours

12

Step-by-step explanation:

A : B

1 : 3

Since we know that B is 3 times of A and A is 4...

1 unit = 4

3 units = 4 x 3 = 12
