Wo trains leave the station at the same time going in opposite directions One of the trains travels at 90 mph and the other is traveling at 120 mph After how many hours will they be 735 miles apart?

Going in opposite directions, they separate at the rate of (90 + 120) = 210 miles per hour.They are 735 miles apart after (735/210) = 3.5 hours.


Two people running pass each other they continue in opposite directions the first person runs 6 mph the other one is running 10 mph how many minutes will pass before they are 2 miles apart?

7 mins 30 sec. Their combined speeds are 16mph, this is their relative speed to each other. After an hour they will be 16 miles apart. After half an hour 8 miles apart, after 15 minutes 4 miles apart and after 7 mins and 30 seconds they will be 2 miles apart. 7.5 minutes ~ Dawn Ayers


How far did the car travel before stopping after traveling 21 ms with a deer in the 90 meters away?

We are not told if the car just reaches the deer, or gets to some other distance before or past the deer. If it just reaches the deer, it traveled 90 metres of course. From the information supplied it doesn't matter where the deer was.

If Jim paddles from one shore of a lake 3 miles wide at 4 mph and John paddles from the opposite shore at 5 mph how long will they travel before they meet?

The answer is 20 minutes or 1/3 of an hour.There is a very easy way to think about this type of problem. Instead of imagining two people paddling towards each other and meeting in the middle, imagine one person paddling all the way across the lake. Because they are traveling until they meet, no more and no less, together John and Jim will have covered exactly the entire distance of the lake. Because one is traveling at 4 mph and the other at five, they are covering distance at an combined speed of 9 mph. Now, the problem is simply finding out how long it takes to travel 3 miles at 9 mph. The equation looks like this:(1 hour/ 9 miles) * 3 miles = (3/9) hours = (1/3) hours = 20 minutesThe standard equation for this type of word problem is speed x time = distance.Here, the total distance is given (3 miles) and both Jim and John are paddling for the same length of time (T) until they meet.4 mph x T (hours) = Jim's distance (miles)5 mph x T (hours) = John's distance (miles)4T + 5T = 39T = 3T = 1/3 hourand 1/3 hour times 60 minutes/hour = 20 minutes

If aTrain leaves Chicago to Cleveland traveling 60 miles an hour and train leaves Cleveland to Chicago traveling 40 miles per hour how far apart are trains 1 hour before they pass each other?

Very interesting ! It makes no difference where either one started from, or evenwhether they both started out at the same time. The only thing that matters istheir speeds.If one travels at 60 mph and the other at 40 mph, then they close the distancebetween them at 100 mph.One hour before they meet, they are 100 miles apart.I hope they are on different tracks.


At 11am two trucks start traveling toward each other at average rates of 45 and 53 mph At the beginning of their trip they were 588 miles apart What time hour will it be when they pass each other?

It will be 5 p.m. They will meet after they were traveling for 6 hours. After one did 270 miles (45 x 6 = 270), and the other did 318 miles (53 x 6 = 318). (270 + 318 = 588 miles)
