Question

A train travels 250 miles at a constant speed (x), in miles per hour.

Enter an equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 250 miles is 5 hours.

Answer 1

`(250)/(5)` or 50 miles per hour

Explanation:

Let the speed of a train be x miles per hour

Total distance is given to be traveled by train= 250 miles

Total time taken to cover the distance= 5 hours

We have to find the expression to find the speed of a train

As we know Speed =
`(Distance)/(Time)`

Hence, Speed of a train =
`(250)/(5)` miles per hour

Speed of a train = 50 miles per hour.

Hence, the correct answer is
`(250)/(5)` or 50 miles per hour
