Sep 2, 2021 · Train 1 leaves the station going west at 80 miles per hour. 600 miles to the west, train 2 leaves the station going east at 40 miles per hour. If both trains leave at the same time, how long before they crash?
Aug 13, 2013 · Two trains are driving toward one another. The first train leaves Town A at 5am traveling at 60 miles per hour. The second train leaves Town B at 7am traveling at 70 miles per hour. the distance between Town A and Town B is 455 miles. What is the EXACT time that the collision will occur?

Mar 16, 2019 · Uniform motion explains the distance of an object when it travels at a constant speed, the rate, over a period of time. To compare different rates, times, and distances you can use subscripts to keep track of which pieces go with which equation.
Take for example two train, train A and train B. A travels towards the train station B is at, while B travels towards the train station A is at. A travels at 70 mph and B travels at 60 mph. The distance between the two train stations is 260 miles.

When you are solving problems for distance, rate, and time, you will find it helpful to use diagrams or charts to organize the information and help you solve the problem. You will also apply the formula that solves distance, rate, and time, which is distance = rate x time. It is abbreviated as: There are many examples where you might use this formu...
You'll usually encounter a distance, rate, and time question as a word problem in mathematics. Once you read the problem, simply plug the numbers into the formula. For example, suppose a train leaves Deb's house and travels at 50 mph. Two hours later, another train leaves from Deb's house on the track beside or parallel to the first train but it tr...
Try solving similar problems. Remember to use the formula that supports what you're looking for—distance, rate, or time.
A train left Chicagoand traveled toward Dallas. Five hours later another train left for Dallas traveling at 40 mph with a goal of catching up with the first train bound for Dallas. The second train finally caught up with the first train after traveling for three hours. How fast was the train that left first going? Remember to use a diagram to arran...
One train left the station and traveled toward its destination at 65 mph. Later, another train left the station traveling in the opposite direction of the first train at 75 mph. After the first train had traveled for 14 hours, it was 1,960 miles apart from the second train. How long did the second train travel? First, consider what you know: Then u...

Distance problems are word problems that involve the distance an object will travel at a certain average rate for a given period of time. The formula for distance problems is: distance = rate × time or. d = r × t. Things to watch out for: Make sure that you change the units when necessary.
