Question

Annie is touring Europe for the summer and is traveling by train from Paris, France to Brussels, Belgium. The distance between the two cities is about 195 miles. If she takes the train, which travels an average of 150.0 km/hr, how long, in hours, will the train trip take? (1 km = 0.62 mi)

Answer 1

2.10 h

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Distance between the two cities: 195 miles

• Average speed of the train: 150.0 km/h

Step 2: Convert the distance between the two cities to km

We will use the relationship 1 km = 0.62 mi.

195 mi × (1 km/0.62 mi) = 315 km

Step 3: Calculate the time required for the train to travel 315 km

315 km × (1 h/150.0 km) = 2.10 h
