Take Your June Exam

The proctor for this exam was retired American History Teacher - Mrs. Barb Teeter.

Exam Question - A jet plane traveling 600 miles per hour can make a trip to the Ilion High School All Classes Mega-Reunion in 33 hours less time than a train traveling at 50 miles per hour.

How long does the train trip take?

Alumni who passed the exam, along with the answer, are listed below in the Exam Results..

Let t = number of hours for train to travel the same distance as the plane
Let t - 33 = number of hours for plane to travel, the same distance as the train, to the reunion

rate x time = distance
plane: 600 x t-33 = 600(t-33)
train: 50 x t = 50t

600(t - 33) = 50t
600t - 19800 = 50t
-19800 = -550t
36 hours = t
