Question

If a train travels at 100 mph for 15 min, what is the distance traveled ?

Answer 1

The speed of the train is 100 miles per hour, and it travels at that speed for 15 minutes.

To find the distance we need to convert the speed to miles per minute as follows:

`\frac{100\text{miles}}{1hour}\cdot(1hour)/(60min)=1.67miles/minute`

Now, let's multiply the speed per minute by the total time 15 minutes:

`(1.67miles)/(1\min)\cdot15\min =25miles`

The train traveled 25 miles.
