Problema Solution
If a train travels at 90 mph for 12 min, what is the distance traveled?
The distance traveled is ___ miles.
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
d = the distance of travel
v = 90 mph the speed
t = 12 min = 12/60 hr = 0.2 hr
Since v = d/t of we solve for d we have d = v*t.
Next we plug the values for v and t:
d = 90*0.2
d = 18 mi
The distance traveled is 18 miles.
