Question

A train travels 90 miles in 1.6 hours. How many miles will the train go in 6 hours if it continues to travel at the same rate of speed?

Answer 1

The train will go a little more than 200 miles

Answer 2

First determine how many miles the train can go in a single hour by dividing the number of miles by the number of hours, (90miles / 1.6 hours), which gets you 56.25 mi/hr. Since you now have the amount of miles the train travels per hour, multiply that by 9 to get the amount it will travel in 9 hrs (56.25*9). The answer is 506.25 miles.
