Asked by Beth

a freight train is traveling 30mph. An automobile starts out from the same place 1 hour later and overtakes the train in 3 hours. What was the rate of the automobile?
Answered by Steve
in one hour the train moved 30 miles ahead.

The car made that up in 3 hours, so its speed was 10 mph greater than the train's.
