Question

A train goes at a constant speed. If it covers 150 miles in 2 1/2 hours, What distance would it cover in 2 hours?

Answer 1

This is not the right place to get your Homework done by others. Really I strongly suggest trying to understand what you are doing there …

You can calculate the answer by transforming the formula Velocity=Speed/Time.

Think about the following: What distance would the car travel in one hour ? (half of the distance it makes in two hours)

How many Kilometer would that be?

Whats the speed therefore? (120 Km/h)

If a car travels at 120 Km per Hour- what time would it need to travel 600 Km ?

600Km % 120 Km/h makes 5h .

Answer 2

Given :

• A train goes at a constant speed.
• It covers 150 miles in 2½ hours.

To find : Distance covered by the train in 2 hours.

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Here, we will be using the normal arithmetic method.

Total time taken by the train to cover 150 miles = 2½ hours = 5/2 hours

So,

The train can cover in 2½ hours = 150 miles

Or,

The train can cover in (5/2) hours = 150 miles

The train will cover in 1 hour = [150 × (2/5)] miles

The train will cover in 1 hour = 60 miles

The train will cover in 2 hours = (60×2) miles

The train will cover in 2 hours = 120 miles

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the train will cover 120 miles in 2 hours.
