Question

A train goes at a constant speed. It can travel 150 miles in 2 1/2 hours. How long would it take for that train to travel 100 miles?

Answer 1

Answer: 100 minutes OR 1 hour and 40 minutes

Explanation:

150 miles in 2 1/2 hours is the same as 150 miles in 150 minutes. Dividing that would give 1 mile = 1 minute. To travel 100 miles you multiply that by 100 and get 100 minutes.
