seconds

Answer 1

Explanation:

A train is traveling from Wilmington, Delaware, to Kansas City, Missouri. The distance traveled in miles, d, is related to the time in seconds, t, by the equation d = 0.03t. How long will it take the train to go 8.5 miles?

d = 0.03t when d = 8.5

8.5 = 0.03t

divide both sides by 0.03:

8.5 / 0.03 = 0.03t / 0.03

t = 283.33 or 283 1/3

283.33 seconds or
`283 (1)/(3)` seconds
