Answer:

19 trains

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate the difference in the number of hours

From the question, we have 7 am to 11 pm

7 am to 7 pm is 12 hours

7 pm to 11 pm is 4 hours

So total is 16 hours

16 hours to minutes is multiplied by 60 minutes

We have this as;

16 * 60 = 960 minutes

so to get the number of trains, we simply have to divide the number of minutes by 50

Mathematically, we have this as 960/50

= 19.2

Since we cannot have a fractional train stop, it means the number of trains that has stopped is 19
