Front and Back Crossed Length of the Train (Posted on 2023-11-09) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Aidan and Bradwick are standing back to back next to a railroad track.

When the front of a train passes them, Aidan starts to walk in the opposite direction of the train, while Bradwick starts to walk in the same direction as the train. Each stops walking when the back of the train passes him.

If the two of them walk at the same speed, and Aidan walks exactly 30 feet, and Bradwick walks exactly 45 feet, how long is the train?
