Question

A car was driving for 4 hours and covered 225 miles. A high-speed train is ten times as fast as this car. Find the train's speed.

Answer 1

The train covers 2250 miles in 4 hours compared to 225 miles covered in 4 hours by the car

Explanation:

56.25 miles per hour - Car

562.50 miles per hour - Train

Answer 2

562.5 mph

Explanation:

First, let's find how fast the car is going in miles per hour. We do this by dividing the miles by how many hours it took:

225/4 = 56.25

The car was going 56.25 mph

A high-speed train is ten times faster than this car so you multiply 56.25 by 10

(10)(56.25) = 562.5

The train's speed is 562.5 mph

Hope this helps!
