Problema Solution
If a train travels at 80 mph for 15 minutes, what is the distance traveled?
Answer provided by our tutors
by the definition for speed
speed = distance traveled / the time of the travel
that is v = d/t where v is speed, d is distance and t is time
that's why for the distance we have d = v*t
in our case v = 80 mph, t = 15 min = 15/60 hours = 1/4 hours
d = 80*(1/4) = 20 miles
the distance traveled is 20 miles.
