Ender::thankyou:cftan:A passenger train travels at a speed of 72km/h. A man on the passenger train observes a goods train travelling at a speed of 54km/h in the opposite direction. If the goods train passes him in 8 seconds, find the length of the goods train.
If the trains are in opposing direction, to an observer on one of the train, the relative speed of the other train is the sum of the two train.
Relative speed = 72 +54 = 126 km/h
Length of goods train = 126 X 8/3600 = 0.28km or 280m.

Hi cfftan..
The school will schedule dental appointments for the boys during school holidays. If the boys can't make it for the scheduled appointment, they can make appointments to see the dentist on another day / at another time. The boys can also walk-in to see the dentist during school hours, if the clinic is open and the dentist is available.[/quote]

Can someone help my ds on this?
The LCM of 6, 12 & n is 660. Find all possible values of n.
12=2² * 3
660 = 2² * 3 * 5 * 11
n must include 5 * 11
n = 5 * 11 = 55
n = 2 * 5 * 11 = 110
n = 2² * 5 * 11 = 220
n = 3 * 5 * 11 = 165
n = 2 * 3 * 5 * 11 = 330
n = 2² * 3 * 5 * 11 = 660
