Question

The distance from Leeds to London is 210 miles. The train

travels at an average speed of 90 mph. If I catch the 9.30 am
train in London, at what time should I expect to arrive in
Leeds?

Answer 1

Arrives in Leeds at 11:50 am

Distance = speed x time

Rearrange the formula

Time = Distance/speed

D = 210 miles; S = 90

Time = 210/90 = 2.33 hours

First add 2 hr and then add 0.33333 hr

9:30 + 2 hr = 11:30

Converting 0.33333 into min

0.33 x 60 = 20 min

11:30 + 20 min = 11:50 am
