Question

A train left for Houston, and 5 hours later, a car traveling 74 mph tried catching up to the train. After

8 hours, the car caught up. What was the train's average speed?

Answer 1

45.538 mph. Jjhhvgfftgbhhh

Answer 2

45.538 mph

Explanation:

v = d/t (velocity = distance/time)

74 mph = d/8

d = 592 miles

`v_(train)=(592 miles)/(5+8 hours)`

= 45.538 mph
