Question

A train travels 480 miles at a constant speed (x), in miles per hour. Write an equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 480 miles is 6 hours. you do not need to solve the equation

Answer 1

480 = x(6)

Explanation:

Given in the question that,

distance travelled by the train = 480 miles

time taken by the train to travel 480 miles = 6 hours

Suppose speed of train = x miles/hour

Formula to use to drive the equation

distance = speed x time

480 = x(6)

x = 480/6

x = 80 miles/hour
