Question

A train travels 110 miles per hour. At this rate, how far will the train travel in 2 1/2 hours?

Answer 1

it will be 275 miles because you're going 110 miles in an hour so you multiply 110 by 2 then you multiply 110 by .5 then you add it together and you get 275

Answer 2

275 miles

Explanation:

Given: A train travels 110 miles per hour.

To find: How far train will travel in 2 1/2 hours.

Solution: It is given that the train is traveling 110 miles per hour.

the train traveled for
`2(1)/(2) =(5)/(2)` hour.

To find the distance traveled in
`2(1)/(2)` hour, we need to multiply the distance traveled per hour by time.

So, we have

`=110*(5)/(2)`

`=55*5`

`=275` miles

Hence, the train will travel 275 miles in tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hour.
