A train leaves a station at 10:40 a.m. and arrives at its destination at 1:20 p.m. Find the distance between the stations if the average speed of the train was 60mph

Respuesta :

average speed   = distance / time

60 =  distance /   (13.20 - 10.40)

13.20 - 10.40  =  2 hours 40 minutes  =  2 2/3  hours

60 = distance / 8/3  = 3 d / 8     (where d = distance)

3d = 480

d = 480/3  = 160 miles Answer
