Question

A train travels 250 miles at a constant speed (x), in miles per hour.

Enter an equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 250 miles is 5 hours

Answer 1

Answer:
`5x=250` , where x is the speed of the train.

Explanation:

The formula to calculate speed is given by :-

`\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}`

Since, the distance traveled by train = 250 miles

Let x be the speed of the train.

Then, the equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 250 miles is 5 hours is given by :-

`x=(250)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow\ 5x=250......................[\text{Multiplying 5 on both sides}]`
