Hi there!
In order to find your answer, you'll need to use the cross product method :
150 miles → 2 1/2 hours = 150 minutes
x miles → 3 hours = 180 minutes
(150 × 180) ÷ 150 = x miles
27,000 ÷ 150 = x miles
180 = x miles
Your answer is: A train would cover 180 miles in 3 hours.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
Answer:
It would cover 180 miles in 3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance traveled =150 miles
Time taken to travel 150 miles = [tex]2\frac{1}{2} hours[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5}{2} hours[/tex]
[tex]Speed =\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
[tex]Speed =\frac{150}{\frac{5}{2}}[/tex]
[tex]Speed =60[/tex]
So, Speed of train = 60 miles per hour
Now we are supposed to find distance covered in 3 hours
Time = 3 hours
Speed of train = 60 miles per hour
[tex]Distance = Speed \timesTime[/tex]
[tex]Distance = 60 \times 3[/tex]
[tex]Distance =180[/tex]
Hence it would cover 180 miles in 3 hours
