Question

D = r t: A train travels 300 miles on level ground in the same amount of time it travels 120 miles in the mountains. The rate of the train in the mountains is 30 mph. Find the rate of the train on level ground and in the mountains.​

Answer 1

The rate of the train on level ground is 75 mph, and the rate of the train in the mountains is 30 mph like you mentioned. If you were asking for the time it takes for the train to travel 120 miles in that speed in the mountain, then it would be 4 hours.
