At noon a passenger train leaves the Dupont Railway station and travels due east for 2 hours. At 12:45 pm the same day a second passenger train leaves the same railway station and travels due west for 1 hour and 15 minutes at a speed 10 kilometers per hour slower than the first passenger train. At 2pm the two trains were 215 kilometers apart. How fast had each train been traveling

The speed of the trains are 70km/hr and 60km/hr respectively.

The distance of the first train will be represented by: = 2 × D = 2D

The distance of the second train will be represented by: = 1.25 × (D - 10) = 1.25(D - 10).

Based on the information given in the question, the equation to solve the question will be:

2D + 1.25(D - 10) = 215

Collect like terms

2D + 1.25D - 12.5 = 215

3.25D = 215 + 12.5

3.25D = 227.5

D = 227.5/3.25

D = 70km/hour

The speed of the second train will be:

= 70 - 10 = 60km per hour.

The speed of the first train is 70 km/hr

The speed of the second train is 60 km/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first train:

Travel time = 2 hours

The speed = ?

we designate the speed as V

For the second train:

The travel time = 1 hr 15 min = 1.25 hrs (15 minutes = 15/60 hrs)

speed = 10 km/hr slower than that of the first train, we can then say

the speed = V - 10

The total distance traveled by both trains in the opposite direction of one another is 215 km

we can put this problem into an equation involving the distance covered by the trains.

we know that distance = speed x time

the distance traveled by the first train will be

==> 2 hrs x V = 2V

the distance traveled by the second train will be

==> 1.25 hrs x (V - 10) = 1.25(V - 10)

Equating the above distances to the total distance between the trains, we'll have

2V + 1.25(V - 10) = 215

2V + 1.25V - 12.5 = 215

3.25V = 215 + 12.5

3.25V = 227.5

V = 227.5/3.25 = 70 km/hr     this is the speed of the first train

Recall that the speed of the second train is 10 km/hr slower, therefore

speed of the second train = 70 - 10 = 60 km/hr

step-by-step explanation:

we know,

total people = 60

total males = 25

percentage of males

= 25/60 × 100

= 25/6 × 10

= 25/3 × 5

= 125 / 3

= 41.

rounding of = 42%
