Question

A train travels 240 miles in 5 hours. At this rate, how far could the train go in 13 hours? What is the rate of speed of the train

Answer 1

find the ration of miles/1 hour by dividing 240/5 and it’s 48 so the train travels 48miles per hour.
to find how far it traveled in 13 hours you multiply 48x13 = 624, the train traveled 624 miles in 13 hours.
the rate of speed of the train is 48miles/hour
