Question

It took 6.25 hours for a train to travel the distance between two cities at a velocity of 110mi/hr. How many miles lie between the two cities?, show your work!!

Answer 1

The distance between the two cities is 715 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that average velocity is defined as the quotient between the distance covered divided by the time it took. so we can use this expression to find the distance between the two cities:

`velocity=(distance)/(time) \\110 \,(mi)/(h) =(distance)/(6.5\,h) \\distance=(6.5\,\,h)*(110\,(mi)/(h))\\distance= 715 \,\,mi`
