Question

A train travels a distance of 20miles for 50min. Calculate the speed of the train.​

Answer 1

24 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = Distance / Time

Speed = 20 ÷ 5/6

Speed = 24 mph

NOTE: 5/6 is a fraction in this case and is equivalent to 50/60 and 60 minutes = 1 hour of course.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

`\textsf {speed = 24 mph}`

Step-by-step explanation:

`\textsf {Formula used :}\\\implies \textsf {speed = distance/time}`

`\mathsf {Given :}`

`\implies \textsf {distance = 20 miles}`

`\implies \textsf {time = 50 minutes = 5/6 hour}`

`\textsf {Solving :}`

`\implies \mathsf {speed = 20 / 5/6 }`

`\implies \mathsf {speed = 20 * 6/5}`

`\implies \mathsf {speed = 4 * 6}`

`\implies \textsf {speed = 24 mph}`
