A train leaves the station at 8 a.m. and averages 40 miles per hour another train leaves the same station one hour later and averages 50 miles per hour traveling in the same direction on a parallel track at what time will the second train catch up with the first train how many miles would each train traveled by that time?

1 answer

the first train is 40 miles ahead when the 2nd train starts.

The 2nd train is going 10 mi/hr faster, so how long do you think it will take to cover the extra 40 miles?
