Hi guys,
I'm struggling in terms on doing word problems, like i have no idea how to approach these types of questions? Does anyone have any tips or tricks regarding these?
Specific Problems I'm stuck on currently:
Q1. A certain tank can be filled by two pipes in 80 minutes. The larger pipe by itself can fill the tank in 2 hours less than the smaller pipe by itself. How long does each pipe take to fill the tank on its own?
Q2. Two trains each make a journey of 330km. One of the trains travels 5km/hr faster than the other and takes 30 minutes less time. Find the speeds of the trains.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated! xx
