Question

What speed is a train traveling if it leaves at 8:00am and arrives at noon and travels 372 miles

Answer 1

93 miles/hr

Explanation:

Speed has a unit of distance/time. We are given hours and miles, so lets look for an answer with units of miles/hour.

We know the miles (372 miles). We can find the hours by subtracting 8 (8:00AM) from 12 (noon: 12:00), The train was travelling for 4 hours.

(372 miles)/(4 hours) = 93 miles/hr
