Final answer:

It takes approximately 12.8 minutes for the MRT 3 trains to travel from North Avenue station to Taft Avenue station at an average speed of 60 km/h, using the formula time = distance/speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total time it takes for the MRT 3 trains to travel from North Avenue station to Taft Avenue station can be calculated using the average speed and the distance between the two stations. Given that the average speed is 60 km/h and the distance is 12.8 km, we can use the formula time = distance/speed.

First, we convert the average speed to km/min:

  • 60 km/h = 60 km / 60 min = 1 km/min

Then we calculate the time:

  • Time = 12.8 km / 1 km/min = 12.8 min

Therefore, it takes approximately 12.8 minutes for the MRT 3 trains to travel from North Avenue station to Taft Avenue station at an average speed of 60 km/h.
