Question

A train can travel at a rate of 85 miles per hour. At this rate, how many hours will it take the train to go 102 miles

Answer 1

`Time = 1.2\ hours`

Explanation:

Given

`Speed= 85\ miles/hour`

Required

Determine the time for 102 miles

In this case, we make use of Speed formula as follows:

`Speed = (Distance)/(Time)`

This gives:

`85 = (102)/(Time)`

Solve for Time

`Time = (102)/(85)`

`Time = 1.2\ hours`

Hence, the time needed is 1.2 hours
