A train goes at a constant speed. If it covers 150 miles in 2/1 2 hours,

e
How long would it take for that train to cover 270 miles?

Answer 1

x =4.5 hours

Explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

150 miles 270 miles

--------------- = --------------

2.5 hours x miles

150 *x = 270*2.5

Divide each side by 150

150x/150 = 270*2.5/150

x =4.5 hours
