The back of a 400-meter long train traveling at 60 kilometers per hour exits a tunnel exactly 3 minutes after the nose of the train enters the tunnel. How long is the tunnel?

In 3 minutes the train travels the lenth of the tunnel + 400 m   ( the length of the train)

 

60 km/hr = 1 km/ min

 

1 km/min * 3 min = 3 km         so the tunnel  is 3 km - 400 m =   2.6 km long
