Apassenger train and a freight train leave san jose at 3 p. m., traveling in the same direction. the passenger train is going three times as fast as the freight train. at 6 p. m. they are 240 miles apart. how fast is each travelling?

There is a 3 hour difference in travel time.

So if x is the speed of the freight train and distance is 240 miles...

3(3x)-3x=240

9x-3x=240

6x=240

x=240/6

x= 40mph for the freight train..

passenger train is 3 times faster than the freight..

3×40=120mph

5050 i think

●yes, this statement is absolutely apt.
