sshayer · Answer

let the speed of freight train =v m/p
speed of passenger train=v+40 m/h
then
V*(44+66)=(v+40)*66
find v
and then v+40

rock_mit182 · Answer

mm ok i can do that

rock_mit182 · Answer

with the correct data would be : V (4 +6)  = (v +40) 6

rock_mit182 · Answer

v =60
60 + 40 =100  How fast is the freight train​ traveling ?

thanks for your help

sshayer · Answer

110v=66v+66*40
110v-66v=66*40
44v=66*40
$$v=\frac{ 66*40 }{ 44 }=?$$
