Question

The distance between two train stops is 220 miles. The train traveled at 3/4 mile per minute. How long will it take the train to reach its destination?

Answer 1

4.8 hours

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

The total distance= 220 miles

The velocity of the train= 3/4 mile per minute

Required

The time of travel

Step two:

we know that

velocity= distance/time

velocity= 220/3/4

let us multiply the numerator (220) by the inverse of the denominator(4/3)

velocity =220*4/3

velocity= 880/3

velocity= 293.3 minutes

in hours

= 293.3/60

= 4.8 hours
