A train travels a distance of 480 kilometre at a uniform speed .If the speed had been 8 kilometre per hour less then it would have Taken 3 h o u r s more to cover the same distance .We need to find the speed of the train.

Solution

We are just subtracting small from the big

here (480/(x-8)) is big and 480/x is small so we subtract new time by original time
