The two trains a and B leave each other from the two cities at the same time. When car a travels 36 kilometers less than car B, the two trains are 264 kilometers apart. Given that the speed ratio of car a and B is 5:6, how many kilometers are the two cities apart

Let B travel for X kilometers, then a travel for (x-36) kilometers. From the meaning of the title, we can get that: X − 36x = 56 & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; 6x-216 = 5x & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; X = 216216 × 2-36 + 264 = 660 (kilometers)
