70x6-55x6
=420-330
=90 km
(70-55)x6
=15x6
=90 km



How many kilometers is the distance between a and B


This is a standard encounter problem
From "12 kilometers less than passenger cars per hour", we know that the speed of freight cars is 60-12 = 48 km / h. using the formula of encounter problem, the distance is equal to (60 + 48) * 5 = 540 km
