1) Gathering the data

282 miles

2 1/2 hour We can rewrite that as 2.5

2) Let's use a proportion, or rather a formula for that

282 miles ------- 2.5

x -------------------- 1

2.5x = 282

x=282 /2.5

x =112.8 miles per hour

In one 1 hour, this train is able to get 112.8 miles if this train maintains its velocity
