Hello there! I just want to know how to solve this!
Question: A train travels 250 miles at a constant speed (x), in miles per hour.
Write an equation that can be used to find the speed of the train, if the time to travel 250 miles is 5 hours.
Thank you in advance.
miles / hours ... miles per hour ... miles divided by hours
Got it! Thank you so much for your help!
Hello! To solve this problem, we can use the formula: speed = distance/time.
In this case, the distance is 250 miles and the time is 5 hours. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
speed = 250 miles / 5 hours
Simplifying the equation, we have:
speed = 50 miles per hour
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the speed of the train is:
x = 50 mph
This equation means that the speed of the train, denoted by x, is equal to 50 miles per hour.
