The train leaves toledo at a speed of 40 mph for 3 1/2 hours until it arrives at it's destination in Indiana. At the same time the train left Toledo, you and Grandma Melba Jean headed out at a speed of 35 mph. How far from the train are you when it arrives it Podunk?
If I take the 40 times 3.5 and 35 times 3.5 then subtract (getting 17.5) would that be my answer?
Yes, if that city was the destination.
what is the answer to the dot thing were you have three rows of there dots and you have to connect them all with four straight lines and no diagnals plez write back befor october 13 2007
Just draw one horizontal line through each row, and then draw one vertical line through any vertical row.
To determine how far from the train you are when it arrives at its destination in Indiana, you need to calculate the distance traveled by both the train and you and Grandma Melba Jean during the 3 1/2 hours.
For the train:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 40 mph * 3.5 hours
Distance = 140 miles
For you and Grandma Melba Jean:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 35 mph * 3.5 hours
Distance = 122.5 miles
So, you and Grandma Melba Jean are approximately 122.5 miles away from the train when it arrives in Podunk.
