Question

A train travels 40 miles in 65 minutes. To the nearest tenth of a mile, how far does the train travel per minute?

Answer 1

1.625 miles

Explanation:

40 miles in 65 minutes means that every 65 minutes, 40 miles is travelled. To find the distance travelled per minute, divide 65 and 40:

65 minutes / 40 miles = 1.625 miles per minute. So every minute, the train travels 1.625 miles.

Hope this helps :)
