If the speed of train A is 14mph slower than the speed of train B and train A travels 230 miles in the same time it takes train B to travel 300 miles, what are the speeds?


Rate This Answer

Train If the speed of train B equals x and the speed of train A equals y, then y = x-14 mph. They travel at the same time, so t =250/(x-14) for train A and t = 300/x for train B. Thus, 250/(x-14) = 300/x and x = 84. This means train B travels at 84 mph and train A travels 14 mph slower at 70 mph. ChaCha on!
