Answer:
117mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Total number of stations= 3
Total average time of journey of train = 65
total stop time at three stations = 3×2 =6 min
Total distance between stops = 115 miles
as we can see
Total time train was travelling = 65- 6 =59 min
so, average speed of train can be calculated as:
Average Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance -travelled-between -stations}{Total-time-the-train-travelled}[/tex]
Average Speed = [tex]\frac{115}{59} =1.95 miles/minute[/tex]
To convert this speed into miles per hour (mph) multiply the above speed by 60
Average speed = 60×1.95 =117 mph
So the average speed of train is 117mph.
