Answer:

70 minutes or 1
(1)/(6)hours

Explanation:

7/8 of an hour = 60(7/8) = 52.5

The train travels 3/4 of the distance in 52.5mins.

Find how long travelling 1/4 of the distance takes is by dividing by 3: 52.5/3=17.5

Find how long travelling 4/4 of the distance (the entire distance) takes by multiplying by 4: 17.5(4) = 70minutes
