Question

a train is traveling at 30 miles per hour. how long will it take the train to travel 180 miles? 1.210 hours 2.150 hours 3.6 hours 4.6 hours

Answer 1

The time taken by the train to travel 180 miles is: 6 hours.

Explanation:

It is given that:

A train is traveling at 30 miles per hour.

i.e. the Speed of the train is: 30 miles per hour.

Also, we are asked to find the time taken by the train if it will travel 180 miles.

i.e. Distance= 180 miles.

We know that:

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)\\\\i.e.\\\\Time=(Distance)/(Speed)`

Now, on putting the value of speed and distance in the formula we have:

`Time=(180)/(30)\\\\i.e.\\\\Time=6\ hours`

Hence, the correct answer is: Option: 4
