Question

A train travels at a speed of 85 mi/hr. How many hours does it take to travel 17,000ft?

Answer 1

Answer:

136 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

85 mi/hr × 5280 ft ÷ 60 min ÷ 60 sec = 125 ft/sec

17,000 ft ÷ 125 ft/sec = 136 seconds

Answer 2

The train will take "136 seconds".

Given values are:

• Speed of train,

S = 85 min/hr

By converting it in "ft/sec", we get

  = 125 ft/sec

• Distance,

D = 17,000 ft

The time taken by the train will be:

→  $Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed}$

By putting the values, we get

→            $= \frac{17000}{125}$

→            $= 136 \ seconds$

So the above answer is correct.
