44 minutes

Answer 2

44.07 minutes to travel 119 miles.

Explanation:

A Japanese bullet train travels per hour = 162 miles

In one hour = 60 minutes

Since in 60 minutes the bullet train travels = 162 miles.

Therefore in 1 minute the train travels =
`(162)/(60)`

= 2.7 minutes

It take time to travel 119 miles =
`(119)/(2.7)`

= 44.07 minutes

It take 44.07 minutes to travel 119 miles from Hiroshima to Kokura on the train.
