Answer:

  • 143 km/h
  • 159 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1208 km separation distance is closed in 4 hours, so the rate of closure is ...

  (1208 km)/(4 h) = 302 km/h

If s represents the speed of the slower train, then the sum of their speeds is ...

  s + (s+16) = 302

  2s = 286

  s = 143

  s+16 = 159

The slower train's rate is 143 km/h; the faster train's is 159 km/h.
