"A train leaves Newcastle for Sydney at 7:45am while another train leaves..."
A train leaves Newcastle for Sydney at 7:45am while another train leaves from Sydney for Newcastle at 8:15am. The first train arrives in Sydney 40 minutes after the trains pass while the train to Newcastle arrives 1 hour 40 minutes after they pass. Assuming that the trains travel at constant speeds (not necessarily the same), at what time did they pass?
Not sure what topic to put this under, as I have not solved it. Taken from a year 8 book.
