Question

A truck traveling 45 miles per hour and a train traveling 60 miles per hour cover the same distance. The truck travels 2 hours longer than the train. How many hours does the truck travel?

Answer 1

Let t be the amount of time that the train travels, and let d be the distance that both vehicles travel.

The equations you end up with are:

D = 60t (this is simply using the formula distance = speed x time
D = 45(t + 2) (using the same formula, but the truck travels two hours longer than the train

Now simply solve the system of equations for t and the number of hours the truck travels will be t + 2. Let me know if you need help with the arithmetic.
