2hours after a freight train leaves Delhi a passenger train
leaves the same station travelling in the same direction at
an average speed of 16 km/hr. After travelling 4 hrs the
passenger train overtakes the freight train. The average
speed of the freight train was?

Answer Posted / shelly

The passenger train travels (16 km/hr)(4 hr) = 64 km
The freight train has traveled the same distance, but in a
total of 6 hours. Use the formula d=rt and solve for r:
64 km /6 hr = 10 2/3 km/hr. Written as a decimal would be
10.666666666......

Ved was on the right track,but rounded the hundredths place
to 7 before adding the ,,,,,,,,,,, which makes it appear
that the 7 was repeated rather than the 6.

Those are some slow trains!!
