Answer:

t = 4.47 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Speed of a train, v = 360 m/s

We need to find the time taken by the train to cover 1 mile. For this first we must know 1 mile equal to how many meters.

1 mile = 1609.34 m

Let t is time.

Speed = distance/time


t=(d)/(v)\\\\t=(1609.34\ m)/(360\ m/s)\\\\t=4.47\ s

So, it will take 4.47 seconds to travel one mile.
