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
