Exercise 7

train in station

Stations

It is important that trains are not too long to fit into stations. Look at the picture. If someone stepped out of the door at the back of the train, they could fall to the ground and injure themselves.

In this exercise you have to work out the maximum number of coaches which a train can have if the whole train (coaches and locomotive) is to fit into a station.

Complete this table. All lengths are in metres.

Engine Coaches Station Max. number of coaches  
20 18 40
20 18 57
12 16 80
22 17 102
