Answers

  1. Assuming the track is straight, the distance at which they are apart one hour before they meet is; 30 km

    How to find the distance from speed and time?

    We are told that a Nonstop trains leave Toronto and Montreal at the same time each day going to the other city along the main line.
    Speed of Train 1 = 120 km/h
    Speed of Train 2 = 90 km/h
    Time spent by train 1 = 1 hour
    Time spent train 2 = 1 hour
    Formula for distance is;
    Distance = Speed * time
    If they leave the same time each day, it means that;
    Distance of train 1 = 120 * 1 = 120 km
    Distance of train 2 = 90 * 1 = 90 km
    Thus, distance at which they will be apart before meeting each other is;
    Distance apart = 120 – 90
    Distance apart = 30 km
