Question

The trip is 375 miles and the train usually travels at a speed of 230mph. How long will it take them to travel.

Answer 1

Answer:

97.5 minutes or 1.63 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the amount of time it takes to travel 1 mile

$\frac{60}{230}$ = 0.26 minutes

2. Multiply the distance by the time it takes to travel 1 mile

375 · 0.26 = 97.5 minutes

To convert to hours, divide by 60 because there are 60 minutes in 1 hour.

97.5 ÷ 60 = 1.63 hours
