Yuto and Lian are at train stations 1,880 kilometers apart. Yuto boards a train heading east at an average speed of 220 kilometers per hour. At the same time, Lian boards a train heading west on a parallel track at an average speed of 250 kilometers per hour. How far has Lian traveled when the two trains pass each other? A table showing Rate in kilometers per hour, Time in hours, and Distance in kilometers. The first row shows, Yuto, and has 220, t, and 220 t. The second row shows, Lian, and has 250, t, and 250 t.

470 kilometers
880 kilometers
940 kilometers
1,000 kilometers

1,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x (km)

=> The time Lian has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

Time = Distance/ Rate = x/ 250 (hour)

As Lian and Yuto travelled from the two opposite train stations and the train stations are 1,880 km apart

=> When two train pass each other, Yuto has traveled 1,880 - x (km)

=> The time Yuto has traveled when two trains pass each other is:

Time = Distance/ Rate = (1,880 - x)/220 (hour)

As Lian and Yuto board at the same time, so that when two trains pass each other, the time both of them have traveled is equal

=> x/ 250 = (1,880 - x)/220

=> 220x = 250 x (1,880 -x)

=> 220x = 470,000 - 250x

=> 470x = 470,000

=> x = 1,000

So that, when two train pass each other, Lian has traveled x = 1,000 km
