Both passenger cars and freight cars leave from a and B cities. It takes 10 hours for passenger cars to complete the whole journey, 12 hours for freight cars to complete the whole journey, and 5 hours for two cars to return The distance between the two cities is 50 kilometers. How many kilometers is the difference between the two cities
The distance is x km
Then the passenger car can travel X / 10 kilometers per hour, and the freight car can travel X / 12 kilometers per hour
(x / 10) * 5 + (x / 12) * 5 + 50 = x solution
X = 600
50÷(5×1/10-5×1/12)
=50×5÷(1/10-1/12)
=10÷(6/60-5/60)
=10÷1/60
=600 km
A: the two cities are 600 kilometers apart
