# GSM8K Problem 17

Two trains leave San Rafael at the same time. They begin traveling westward, both traveling for 80 miles. The next day, they travel northwards, covering 150 miles. What's the distance covered by each train in the two days?

Reason step by step, then give ONLY the final answer on the last line as \boxed{ANSWER}.

To find the distance covered by each train in the two days, we need to sum the distances traveled on each day.

1.  **First Day:** The problem states that the trains travel westward for 80 miles.
    *   Distance on Day 1 = 80 miles.

2.  **Second Day:** The problem states that the trains travel northwards, covering 150 miles.
    *   Distance on Day 2 = 150 miles.

3.  **Total Distance:** The "distance covered" refers to the total path length traveled by the train. We calculate this by adding the distances from both days.
    *   Total Distance = Distance on Day 1 + Distance on Day 2
    *   Total Distance = $80 + 150$
    *   Total Distance = 230 miles.

Since both trains follow the same path description, the distance covered by each train is the same.

\boxed{230}
