A train traveled 250 mi in 2 h. If it traveled at the same rate of speed, how long would it take the train to travel 600 mi?
(2 hours / 250 miles) * 600 miles = 4.8 hours
250 mi / 2 h = 125 mi / h
600 / 125 = 25 ∙ 24 / 25 ∙ 5 = 24 / 5 = 2 ∙ 24 / 2 ∙ 5 = 48 / 10 = 4.8 h
1 h = 60 min
0. 8 h = 0.8 ∙ 60 min = 48 min
4 h 48 min
To find out how long it would take the train to travel 600 miles at the same rate of speed, we can use the formula:
Time = Distance / Speed
We are given that the train traveled 250 miles in 2 hours. So, the speed of the train can be calculated as:
Speed = Distance / Time = 250 miles / 2 hours = 125 miles/hour
Now, we can use this speed to find out how long it would take the train to travel 600 miles:
Time = Distance / Speed = 600 miles / 125 miles/hour = 4.8 hours
Therefore, it would take the train approximately 4.8 hours to travel 600 miles at the same rate of speed.
