Question

a train is traveling from new orleans to memphis at a constant speed of 79 mph. New Orleans and Tennessee are 395.1 miles apart. How long will the train take to reach Tennessee?

Answer 1

Answer:- Time taken to reach Tennessee = 5 hours.

Explanation:-

Given: Speed of train traveling from new Orleans to Memphis=79 mph

Distance between new Orleans and Tennessee= 395.1 miles

To find time taken to reach Tennessee

We know that

`Time=(Distance)/(Speed)\\\\\Rightarrow\ Time=(395.1)/(79)=5.00126..\approx5\ hours`

Therefore,time taken to reach Tennessee = 5 hours.

Answer 2

In order to solve for the time, we use the following formula:

Time = Distance divided by Rate

- Distance is how far location A is from location B

- Rate is the speed of the vehicle when it is travelling

Hence, we get the below solutiom:

Time = 395.1mi divided by 79mph

Time = 5 hours
