Question

If a train leaves the station at 7:00 AM and travels at 56 mph, at what time would it arrive at the next town that is 450 miles away?

Answer 1

3:35

Explanation:

Answer 2

3:02pm

Explanation:

we can first do 450/56 to find out how long it takes the train to travel 450 miles

this equals 8.0357142857

so this is 8 hours plus a little more time

we now have to convert that decimal into a number of minutes

60(0.0357142857)

that equals 2.142857142

so that's 2 minutes and 14 seconds

so we just need to add 8 hours 2 minutes and 14 seconds to 7:00am

which would be 3:02:14pm
