A train goes at a constant speed. It can travel 150 miles in 2 and a half hours. What distance would it travel in 7 hours?
To find the distance the train would travel in 7 hours, we can use proportionality.
First, let's find the speed of the train in miles per hour by dividing the distance (150 miles) by the time (2.5 hours):
Speed = Distance / Time = 150 miles / 2.5 hours = 60 miles per hour
Now, we can use the speed to calculate the distance the train would travel in 7 hours:
Distance = Speed × Time = 60 miles per hour × 7 hours = 420 miles
Therefore, the train would travel 420 miles in 7 hours.
