Biking at 8 mph, it takes Kristen 1/4 hour to reach the train station to go to work. Kristen then takes the train to work, and it takes another 1/4 hour for her to get to work when the train travels 24 mph. How far does Kristen travel to work?

Answer:

8 miles.

Explanation:

Biking at 8 miles per hour for 1/4 an hour is equal to biking 2 miles.

Riding the train at 24 miles per hour for 1/4 an hour is equal to riding 6 miles.

2 miles + 6 miles = 8 miles.
