Question

A train travels at a constant speed for 528 miles. If it takes the train 8 hours to travel the distance, what is

the unit rate at which the train travels?

Answer 1

The train travels at 66 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Given that:

Time taken by train = 8 hours

Distance covered by train in 8 hours = 528 miles

Unit rate is defined by the distance travelled by train in one hour.

Therefore, we will divide the total time taken by train to distance covered by train in that time.

Unit rate =
`(Distance\ travelled)/(Time\ taken)`

Unit rate =
`(528)/(8)`

Unit rate = 66 miles per hour

Hence,

The train travels at 66 miles per hour.
