Question

A train travels eight hundred fifty miles in six hours.How long would it take the train to travel five thousand one hundred miles?

Answer 1

Given that train travels eight hundred fifty miles in six hours.

Then speed of the train is given by formula

`Speed = (distance)/(time)`

`Speed = (850)/(6)` miles per hour

Now we have to find time when train travels five thousand one hundred miles.

so plug the value of speed and distance in above formula

`Speed = (distance)/(time)`

`(850)/(6) = (5100)/(time)`

`(850)/(6) = (5100)/(time)`

850(time)=5100*6

850(time)=30600

time = \frac{30600}{850}

time = 36

Hence final answer is 36 hours.
