Question

in 5 hours the acela express, the fastest train in north america, traveled 775 miles. how far did it travel in 8 hours

Answer 1

So, the Acela Express traveled 1,240 miles in 8 hours.

Explanation:

To find out how far the Acela Express traveled in 8 hours, you can use the information given:

In 5 hours, the train traveled 775 miles.

To find the distance traveled in 8 hours, you can set up a proportion:

(5 hours) / (775 miles) = (8 hours) / (x miles)

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

5 * x = 8 * 775

5x = 6200

Now, divide both sides by 5 to find x:

x = 6200 / 5

x = 1240

So, the Acela Express traveled 1,240 miles in 8 hours.
