Question

A train leaves Station A traveling west at 60 miles per hour for 7 hours, and then continues to travel west on the same track for 3 hours at 55 miles per hour, where it stops at Station B. How far is Station A from Station B?

Answer 1

Answer: 585 miles

Step-by-step explanation: 60 x 7 for the first 7 hours = 420 miles, then 3 x 55 for the last 3 hours = 165 add them together, 420+265 you get= 585

Answer 2

60 miles per hour x 7 hours = 420 miles

55 miles per hour x 3 hours = 165 miles

Total miles = 420 + 165 = 585 miles
