A cargo train and a passenger train, which start from two stations that are 710 km apart, are traveling towards each other. The cargo train started an hour before the passenger train, and is traveling with a speed of 110 km/hour. In how many hours will the cargo train and the passenger train meet, if the passenger train is traveling at 90 km/hour?

plz help

The answer to your question is 4 hours (considering the cargo train started 1 hour before).

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

distance = 710 km

Cargo train = 1 hour before  speed = 110 km/h

time = ?

Passenger train     speed = 90 km/h

Process

1.- Calculate the distance traveled by the cargo train in 1 hour

     d = vt

      d = (110)(1)

         = 110 km

2.- Write an equation to solve this problem

distance traveled by the cargo train + distance traveled by the passenger

                                                                 train = total distance

            (110 + vct) + (vpt) = 710 km

Substitution

             110 + vct + vpt = 710

             110 + 110t + 90t = 710

              200t = 710 - 110

               200t = 600

                      t = 600 / 200

                      t = 3 hours

3.- Conclusion

The trains will meet after 4 hours, because we must consider that the cargo train started 1 hour before.            

it will take 4 hours for them to meet.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the time the cargo train and the passenger train meet, they would have covered a total distance of 710km.

Let t represent the time it takes them to meet.

Distance = speed × time

The cargo train is traveling with a speed of 110 km/hour. This means the distance the cargo train covers in t hours is 110 × t = 110t

The cargo train started an hour before the passenger train. This means that the time spent by the passenger train is (t - 1) hours. if the passenger train is traveling at 90 km/hour, then the distance covered by the passenger train is

90(t - 1)

Since the total distance covered is 710 km, then

110t + 90(t - 1) = 710

110t + 90t - 90 = 710

200t = 710 + 90 = 800

t = 800/200

t = 4

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
