Answer:

2.5 hours

Explanation:

To get the hourly speed, we need to divide 430 by 5.

This means that the train is going at a speed of 86 miles/hour.

Since we need to find the hour, we need to divide 215 miles by 86 miles/hour.


215 miles / (86 miles)/(hour)

We can use the keep change flip to do
215 miles * (1 hour)/(86 miles)

This would give us 2.5 hours.
