Answer:

Train B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find each train's speed using the following formula.


s=(d)/(t)

where
d is distance and
t is time.

Train A

Train A travelled a distance of 120 kilometers in 3 hours.


s=(d)/(t)\\d=120 km\\t= 3hrs

Substitute the values into the formula and divide.


s=(120km)/(3hrs)\\


s= 40 km/hr

Train B

Train B travelled a distance of 180 kilometers in 4 hours.


s=(d)/(t)\\d=180 km\\t= 4hrs

Substitute the values into the formula and divide.


s=(180km)/(4 hrs)\\


s= 45 km/hr

45 kilometers per hour is greater than 40 kilometers per hour, so Train B travelled faster.
