United States. During a speed test, the train traveled 8.0 x 10^2 miles in 2.5 hours. Compute the
speed of the train. (Try solving this problem using scientific notation.)

Answer 1

`3.2*10^2=320` mph

Explanation:

hello,

it travels
`8.0*10^2` miles in 2.5 hours

So in 1 hours it travels

`(8.0*10^2)/(2.5)=3.2*10^2`

miles

hope this helps
