Using proportions, it is found that a train departing from Toronto at 7 a.m. will meet 5 trains on it's run to Montreal.
What is a proportion?
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
Velocity is distance divided by time, hence time is distance divided by velocity, and the time of the trip is:
t = 301/60 = 5 hours. (approximately).
A train leaves each hour, hence one train is met for each hour of travel, meaning that a train departing from Toronto at 7 a.m. will meet 5 trains on it's run to Montreal.
