Question

A train left for Houston, and 5 hours later, a car traveling 74 mph tried catching up to the train. After
8 hours, the car caught up. What was the train's average speed?

Answer 1

Answer:

45.538 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

v = d/t (velocity = distance/time)

74 mph = d/8

d = 592 miles

$v_{train}=\frac{592 miles}{5+8 hours}$

= 45.538 mph
