The first thing we must do for this case is to take into account the following variable:
x = speed in miles per hour
Then, by definition we have to:
d = v * t
Where,
d: distance
v: speed
t: time
Substituting values:
250 = x * 5
Answer:
An equation that can be used to find the speed of the train is:
250 = x * 5
