Question: If a train leaves a station traveling south at 60 mph and another train leaves the same station traveling north at 80 mph, how far apart will they be after 1 hour?

Options:

  1. 140 miles
  2. 60 miles
  3. 80 miles
  4. 100 miles

Correct Answer: 140 miles

Solution:

After 1 hour, the southbound train will have traveled 60 miles and the northbound train 80 miles, making them 60 + 80 = 140 miles apart.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a train leaves a station traveling south at 60 mph and another train leaves the same station traveling north at 80 mph, how far apart will they be after 1 hour?
  • Step 1: Identify the speed of the southbound train, which is 60 miles per hour (mph).
  • Step 2: Identify the speed of the northbound train, which is 80 miles per hour (mph).
  • Step 3: Determine the time they are traveling, which is 1 hour.
  • Step 4: Calculate the distance traveled by the southbound train in 1 hour: 60 mph * 1 hour = 60 miles.
  • Step 5: Calculate the distance traveled by the northbound train in 1 hour: 80 mph * 1 hour = 80 miles.
  • Step 6: Add the distances of both trains to find out how far apart they are: 60 miles + 80 miles = 140 miles.
  • Relative Motion – Understanding how two objects moving in opposite directions can be analyzed to find the distance between them.
  • Speed and Distance Calculation – Applying the formula distance = speed × time to calculate how far each train travels.
