Hey! well i need help on a problem (word problem) and would greatly appreciate it if you wold help me.

Here it is.--> It takes a fassenger train 2 hours less time than it takes a freight train to make the trip from Central City to Clear Creek. The passenger train averages 96 km/h while the freight train averages 64 km/h. How far is it from Central City to Clear Creek?

Rule #1 - Name Stuff

Name what?

What does it want?

"How far is it from Central City to Clear Creek?"

Name that.

D = Distance form Central City to Clear Creek.

Is there anything else you are expected to know?

Yes, Distance = Rate * Time

Youtell me what's next.

name the trains??


it wants how far it is fromfrom Central City to Clear Creek??


ok so next.... ummm....do i make an equation????

You can name the trains if you like.

Did you miss this, D = Distance form Central City to Clear Creek.

Part of the study of mathematics require thinking. Think.

You have a name for the DISTANCE.
You know the formula D = r*t.
You are given the rate of both trains.
You are given a relationship between the travel times.

That's a train load of information. What are you going to do with it?
