Answer 1

The train travels 140 miles per hour

Explanation:

To find the unit rate we can divide the miles traveled by the time it took to travel them. Let x be the unit rate.

700/5=x

To simplify the fraction divide both parts of the fraction by 5

(700/5)/(5/5)=x

Divide

140/1=x

The Train travels 140 miles per hour

Answer 2

140 mph

Explanation:

Divide the total distance (700 miles), with the amount of time it took (5 hours) to get the unit rate traveled.

700/5 = 140/1

140 miles per hour is your answer
