Chapter 6, Problem 6ICA
Two cargo trains each leave their respective stations at 1:00 p.m. and approach each other, one traveling west at 10 miles per hour and the other on separate tracks traveling east at 15 miles per hour. The stations are 100 miles apart. Find the time when the trains meet, and determine how far the eastbound train has traveled.
