Answer:


(250)/(5) or 50 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of a train be x miles per hour

Total distance is given to be traveled by train= 250 miles

Total time taken to cover the distance= 5 hours

We have to find the expression to find the speed of a train

As we know Speed =
(Distance)/(Time)

Hence, Speed of a train =
(250)/(5) miles per hour

Speed of a train = 50 miles per hour.

Hence, the correct answer is
(250)/(5) or 50 miles per hour
