AIME 2014a Problem 4

  • Paper
  • Answer

Jon and Steve ride their bicycles along a path that parallels two side-by-side train tracks running the east/west direction. Jon rides east at 2020 miles per hour, and Steve rides west at 2020 miles per hour. Two trains of equal length, traveling in opposite directions at constant but different speeds each pass the two riders. Each train takes exactly 11 minute to go past Jon. The westbound train takes 1010 times as long as the eastbound train to go past Steve. The length of each train is mn\tfrac{m}{n} miles, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
